The American Buyers' Union 



(Incorporated under the laws of the State of Illinois.) 



Members are urged to thoroughly familiarize themselves with these pages before ordering goods. 



Its Organization. — After many months of work and the ex 
penditure of many thousands of dollars, in the best markets of 
America and Europe in the selection of goods for its different 
Departments, in the perfection of its own manufacturing facili- 
ties, and in the completion of the vast details attendant upon the 
successful organization of so stupendous an undertaking ; includ- 
ing the compilation of this, the most artistic, original and com- 
plete catalogue ever issued in this country— the American 



Buyers' Union comes before the people of the United States, 
soliciting their patronage and good-will, and pledging to them 
the faithful carrying-out of all its business obligations, agree- 
ments and representations. 

As convincing evidence to such as are yet unacquainted with its 
business standing and character the Union prints on this page its 
references and a copy of its Certificate of Incorporation under 
the laws of the State of Illinois.

Its Aim is, by bringing together, more nearly, the purchaser 
and the producer — by doing away with the enormous expenses 
and profits that are added to the original cost of goods in passing 
through the hands of several middlemen before reaching the con- 
sumer ; to materially increase The Purchasing Power of a Dollar, 
thereby saving the difference to the consumer. 



The cost of everything that is bought or sold is divided into two 
classes, viz. : The Cost of Manufacture, and the Cost of Dis- 
tribution. 

The first class usually represents but a very small percentage of 
the Retai) Selling Price, while the second class, representing the 
great bulk of the retail cost of an article, includes at least Three 



0) 



Catalogue of Tlje American Buyers' Union. 



Profits, that of the jobber; of the wholesale dealer, and of the 
retail dealer. To this must be added the enormous expenses in 
conducting the business of each one of these middlemen; the 
item of advertising, alone, under this method, representing an 
enormous percentage of the original cost of any article. 

THE DIFFERENCE. 

Under the plan upon which the business of the American 
Buyers' Union is conducted, every one of its members is brought 
into direct communication with the manufacturer, and becomes a 
Wholesale Dealer in all of the varied classes of merchandise 
included in the many Departments of the Union's business, at 
wholesale prices, and entitled to all the benefits and advantages 
of that class. 

HOW THIS IS ACCOMPLISHED. 

The success of The American Buyers' Union was assured, from 
the beginning, by reason of the thorough, complete organization 
in the veriest details of every Department of its vast business, and 
in that, alone, lies the whole secret. Its rolls of membership in 
its principal office in Chicago are daily swelled by hundreds of 
new members, from all parts of the country, and by a UNION of 
the individual orders from the members of this vast body of 
American Buyers is obtained an enormous purchasing power vested 
in the American Buyers' Union, so that tens of thousands of 
members are enabled to deal with the manufacturers as one 
person. 

Cash in hand, the Union, at the head of this immense and ever- 
increasing power, asks and receives from the manufacturers such 
prices and concessions as, ofttimes, the largest jobbers, on the old 
plan, might fail to secure. 

GENERAL REMARKS. 

Tbe Union presents this Catalogue to its Members with a great 
deal of pleasure and satisfaction in the knowledge that every 
article is accurately and correctly illustrated, without exaggeration 
of any nature, whether of size, quality or appearance, and can 
with safety assure its Members that every article ordered will, 
upon examination, prove to be even more satisfactory and perfect 
than they had expected, so that Members in any part of the United 
States can order From the Catalogue with the same confidence 
and intelligent understanding which they would have in making 
personal selection from the various stocks in the Union's ware- 
rooms. Under the several department heads of this Catalogue 
will be found remarks and instructions of great aid and value to 
Members in ordering goods, which should be carefully read and 
closel} - followed. 

Special Attention is directed to the character of this Catalogue 
as compared with those usually issued for distribution. Its every 
page is devoted to the illustration and description of the goods of 
the Union, arranged in the most careful manner for the conven- 
ience of Members in ordering, instead of attempting to quote the 
greatest number of articles in the smallest possible space. Nor 
are its pages burdened with paid advertisements, whose only 
merit, ofttimes, lies in the fact that they pay the cost of issuing 
the Catalogues; this Catalogue advertises only the wares of the 
Union, and the Union bears the entire cost of publication. The 
following 

RULES AND REGULATIONS 

have been prepared, in accordance with the Union's charter and 
the laws by which it is governed, for the successful carrying-on of 
its business. By careful observance of them, the Members will 
avoid misunderstandings and secure satisfactory execution of their 
orders. 

Prices. — The prices here quoted are based upon the cost of 
goods now in stock, and are subject to change without notice to 
Members. As far as possible the Union intends, however, to 
notify Members of any change in values, and to give them the 



benefit of all reductions from these prices when made. As its; 
membership increases, its sales will increase also. The more 
goods sold, the cheaper it can sell them. 

The prices here quoted are for goods in the Union's warerooms ; 
the cost of sending money and expenses for shipment of goods 
must be borne by Members. 

SHIPMENTS. 

By Freight. — Considerable can be saved in freight charges by 
ordering in large bulk, as it costs no more to ship a package weigh- 
ing 100 pounds than one weighing only 15 pounds. 

The cost of case and cartage (40c. to $1.00, according to size of 
case and distance to freight-depots,) is charged by all jobbers on 
freight shipments and should always be included in amount sent. 
If Members send too much money the balance will always be 
returned to them. 

Members will avoid paying exchange twice by sending the full 
amount with all freight orders ; but, when desired, the Union will 
ship goods to its own address and collect the balance of bill 
through Bank, if money enough to cover transportation charges is 
sent with the order. 

Be careful to state name of Bank and the town in which it is 
located. 

By Express. — In shipping by express no cartage is charged, and 
cases are used only when needed to properly protect the goods. 
Goods will be sent by express C. O. D., (collect on delivery,) upon 
the following conditions : 

When goods ordered permit of it ; many considerations render 
it necessary to refuse or accept such orders at our option, such as 
distance, nature of goods, their size, weight, etc. 

When enough money accompanies the order to guarantee all 
express charges if shipped. 

When the place to which shipment is to be made has an 
express-office ; no shipments will be made to points not on a rail- 
road unless full amount is sent with the order. 

When amount of order is $5.00 or over; shipments amounting 
to less than $5.00 will not be made C. O. D. 

The Union guarantees all shipments to contain exactly the 
goods billed, and the references given on Page 1 of this Catalogue 
will, upon inquiry, fully establish the absolute integrity of its 
guarantee ; at the same time the privilege is granted to examine 
C. O. D. Express shipments at the express office in presence of the 
agent, under their rules. The Company and their agents do not 
like to do this, because of the risk and annoyance so often incurred, 
and Members will bear in mind the fact that the continued use of 
this privilege depends upon themselves, as the agents of the 
Express Companies have the right to refuse it whenever they see 
fit. 

By Mail. — Goods weighing four pounds or less will be sent by 
mail, provided the full amount for both the goods and postage 
accompanies the order. Under the Postal Laws, articles liable to 
deface or injure the mails, or the persons handling them, will not 
be accepted or transmitted. 

The rate of postage is 1 cent for each ounce or fraction of an 
ounce (16 cents per pound). Always send enough to fully cover 
the postage on mail orders. If Members send too much money 
the balance will always be returned to them. Goods cannot be 
sent by mail outside the United States. 

ORDER BLANKS. 

Each Member's Catalogue will contain a few Order Blanks, 
and Members can always obtain more of them by simply dropping 
a Postal Card to the Union's Address. Never run out of them, 
and always use them in ordering, because it is less trouble than 
to write the order all out; and by following the foregoing instruc- 
tions and carefully filling out the blanks, Members may always 
be sure to have their goods shipped right, and to get just what they 
order. 

ALWAYS USE THE ORDER BLANKS. 



Catalogue of Tlje American Buyers' Union. 



REMITTANCES. 

Money may be sent at the Union's risk, if properly addressed, 
by Bank Draft, P. O. Money Order, Postal Note, Express Money 
Order, or Currency by Express (charges prepaid). Make all Drafts, 
etc., payable to The American Buyers' Union. 

Drafts will be accepted on Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, 
Detroit, Indianapolis, Kansas City, St. Louis, New York, Balti- 
more, Boston, Philadelphia or Washington. 

Postage Stamps will be received same as cash for amounts of 
$5.00 or under, 2's or 5's preferred. 

Note. — When cash for full amount accompanies the order, 
Members are always given the privilege of returning any article 
that is not satisfactory, and the Union will exchange for other 
goods or immediately return the money, if it is advised by letter 
of the facts upon receipt of goods. 

General. — The Member's Certificate guarantees to Members the 
privilege of ordering any article of merchandise belonging to any 
Department included in the Union's Catalogue ; but all orders for 
goods not quoted in the Catalogue must invariably be accompanied 
by full payment therefor. In selecting goods to fill such orders, 
the Union will exercise the utmost care and judgment, but the 
exchange or return of articles so ordered is distinctly prohibited, 
unless by special agreement. 



Correspondence. — All communications should be plainly ad- 
dressed to 

"THE AMERICAN BUYERS' UNION," 
141 & 143 Wabash Ave. CHICAGO, ILL., 

and properly stamped. Never use a one-cent stamp on letters — 
they will not be forwarded. Always give full name and address, 
post-office, county and state. 

Always use the Order Blank when ordering, and write your 
letters on a separate sheet of paper. Members and others address- 
ing the Union upon subjects not connected with its business 
should always inclose postage, to insure reply. 

All orders (except for less than $1.00) are acknowledged by 
return mail. 

The Membership Rolls are made up from the Member's Receipts, 
which, when signed by them at time of payment of Membership 
Fees, are detached from the Certificates of Membership and mailed 
by the Agents to the office of the Union. Members should, there- 
fore, be careful to plainly sign their full name to the Receipt, as 
the signatures to all orders are compared with the original sig- 
nature before shipping.

NOTE: The Union does not carry any of the cheaper qualities or grades of Silver Plated Ware: the best and most heavily 
plated goods having proved by experience to be the cheapest in the end. 

E N G R AVI N G : The cost of engraving Jewelry and Silverware is as follows : 

Plain Script, per letter, 2\ cts.; Old English, Fancy or Roman, per letter, h\ cts.; Monograms, 2 or 3 letters, 33 cts. 



Goods plated on Steel base should not be engraved. 

for articles that are to be engraved. 



Payment in full (including cost of engraving) must accompany all orders 



SPECIAL MENTION : Silver exposed to the air will tarnish so that oftentimes Silverware that is sent out in perfect order will be 
discolored when it reaches its destination. This does not indicate any defect in its manufacture or quality, for its polish will at 
once return by briskly rubbing with a chamois skin or soft cloth. 

222. LUSTRA-BRILLIANT — The Perfect Polish. This Polish is manufactured expressly for cleaning and polishing jewels, 
gold, silver and plated wares. It is a perfectly pure, simple preparation, free from grit or any injurious ingredient. It is easily 
applied without waste, and restores the original lustre of the wares. It is also superior for cleansing, without soap, mirrors, 
plate glass, marble and white paint. Put up with full directions, in wooden box. 
Price, per box, 15 cts.; per doz., $1.50. By mail, 6 cts. per box extra.

FINE FRENCH MANTEL CLOCKS. 

IMPORTED DIRECT, BY THE AMERICAN BUYERS' UNION. 



|HE following magnificently illustrated pages will 
convey to Members a perfectly accurate and truth- 

^ ful conception of these beautiful and valuable 
clocks. The attempt to portray the delicate workmanship 
and colors of these goods has never before been made, 
owing to the great expense attendant thereon ; but the 
desire of The Union being, in all cases, to avoid the 
slightest misrepresentation or exaggeration of its goods, 
it decided upon this outlay, believing its reward would 
be found in the just and generous appreciation and pat- 
ronage of its Members. The plates were engraved by the 
very best artists, from the clocks direct, and the universal 
verdict seems to be that these pages are indeed a triumph 
of the Engravers' and Printers' Arts. 

Members are Urged to Carefully Consider the 
Following Descriptions, Suggestions, etc. 
MOVEMENTS. 

All of these clocks have the very finest and most perfect 
of the justly celebrated "Jappy Movements." The pinions 
and pivots are finished by hand with the same care and 
accuracy as the finest watch movements, and are adjusted 
for fine time-keeping. They are nominally 21-day clocks, 
but average from 15 to 18 days. The Gilt Clocks all 
have silver-bell hour and half hour strike, while the 
Marble Clocks all have cathedral-bell hour and half-hour 
strike. 

IN GILDING THE GLOBE CLOCKS 
2"4- Carat (absolutely pure) Gold Leaf and Pure Silver 
Leaf, only, is used. This is lacquered on and burnished 
in the highest style of art. 

the' alto-relievo figures 

on these clocks come assorted, so that sometimes the 
figures may not be exactly like that illustrated ; for 
instance, the engraving of No. 912 >hows a female figure, 
while in a shipment of-this style of clocks there may be 
several that have, instead, a male figure ; again, the 
engraving of No. 900 represents the horses finished in 
Pure Silver Leaf, but in a shipment of this style some of 
them would have the horses finished in Pure Gold Leaf, 
the same as body of clock. All the figures used on the 
different styles of clocks are, however, in every case 
equal in value and beauty of design to those here illus- 
trated. 

THE FRENCH MARBLE CLOCKS 

are confidently represented to be far superior to the 
average grades sold in this country — they are the very best 
French clocks made — and they are here offered at much 
lower prices than have always been charged for the less 
valuable grades usually handled in the stores. 
OTHER STYLES. 
In addition to the popular and fast-selling styles here 
shown and quoted, The Union imports many others — 
especially of the gilt-and-alabnster clocks, of which are 
carried a number of unusually elegant and ornate pieces, 
some of them massive in size and designs. Full descrip- 
tions and prices promptly furnished to Members upon 
request. 

SHIPMENT. 

These clocks are always put in perfect order and care- 
fully regulated before shipping, and will therefore arrive 
at destination in good condition, as they are packed for 
shipment by thoroughly experienced and careful packers. 
REPAIRS. 

Clocks, of whatever kind or make, are, however, (like 
watches or any other delicate piece of mechanism) liable 
to get out of order; The Union, therefore, suggests that 
in such event it would be to the interest of Members to 
forward their clocks to its principal office, at Chicago, 111., 
(1.) Because The Union makes a specialty of fine Clock 
and Watch repairing, employing only the best and most 
experienced workmen ; (2.) Because it is to its interest to 
do all repairing in the most careful, thorough and satis- 
factory manner, at moderate cost to its Members ; (3.) 
Because very few jewelers or artisans are able, in a life- 
time, to gain in this class of fine work the practical exper- 
ience that comes to The Union's workmen each year, and 
(4.) Because the Retail Dealers do not like The Union; 
and, while it would not, in any sense, accuse them of dis- 
honesty, the}' could not be expected to take the same 
pains and care on work which, if properly clone, would 
reflect more credit uponTHE Union (their greatest com- 
petitor in this country) than upon themselves. When a 
clock is received for repairs, an estimate of the cost is 
furnished, if desired, before any expense is incurred.

The styles illustrated in this Department have been selected because of their being reliable and popular goods. 

They are, however, but the smallest portion of the Union's immense stock of all styles and varieties of American and Foreign 
Clocks, and Members will cheerfully be furnished free, upon application, with prices, cuts and full information concerning any style or 
kind of Clock made, among which can be mentioned : Alabaster and Gold, Brass, Bronze, Cuckoo, Solid Cut Glass (in Crystal, White,) 
Amber, Emerald, and Sapphire), Iron, Lever, Marble, Marine, Office, Street, Swinging, Tower, Weight and Window Clocks. Having 
Direct Agencies for some of the largest factories in the world, and buying all of its goods direct from the manufacturers, the Union is 
enabled to meet the wants of its Members at about the same prices your retail dealers pay. 

The Union has made this a Leading Department of its business, and will earnestly endeavor at all times to merit continued increase 
of the already very large patronage of its members. A full assortment of Clock material kept in stock, and a force of skilled workmen 
is constantly employed in this department. Each Clock is carefully regulated and thoroughly tested before being sent out ; therefore, 
Clocks are usually not shipped until two or three days after the order is received- Each order is most carefully packed by experienced 
persons, hence there is no danger of Clocks getting out of order in transit. 

NOTE. — Where Clocks are quoted "time," it means they do not strike. Calendar and Nickel Clocks do not have Alarms unless 
quoted. All other styles will be furnished with Alarms for 40 cents additional.

^5§ypHE following list of Musical Merchandise is confined strictly to the staple goods. In organizing this Department, however, there 
was kept in view the fact that the demands of the Musical World include everything that is manufactured in Musical Instru- I 
ments, or that appertains thereto; to meet which arrangements have been perfected with the leading houses in this country 
and Europe, whereby superior facilities have been secured for supplying everything in this line, at lowest prices. 
The prices attached to the articles listed in this Catalogue cannot fail to command the attention of all interested — it being con- 
scientiously asserted that, considering quality, they are not to be duplicated by any house in this country; and Subscribers may confi- 
dently rely upon having all of their orders for goods in this line selected in the most satisfactory manner and at equally low prices.

HIS CATALOGUE is descriptive of the great variety and cheapness of the many Standard and Miscellaneous 
Publications furnished to members of the American Buyers' Union, as compared with the publishers' regular 
retail prices, and indicates the immense saving that the Union can and will make to its members. 

From the net, or lowest prices herein named no further reduction can be made; nor can any person, not a 
member of this Union, obtain any of these books from it at less than the published retail rates. 

Attention is particularly directed to the character of the books named in the following pages. So far as the 
Catalogue itself is concerned, it is considered the most complete and comprehensive one ever published iu the 
West. But its greatest merit lies in the fact that the editions op the works named are not of the cheap, coarse and flimsy sorts that 
flood the news-depots and are offered to the public by professional publishers of cheaply -bound books. On the contrary, the publications 
here listed are the standard editions issued by the representative publishing houses of this country and Europe. 

The careful observer will also recognize the absence, in this Catalogue, of very many trashy novels and other publications of a simi- 
larly unworthy character, which have no value in the family library, nor in the estimation of this Union. The weeding-out of this class 
of books will undoubtedly be appreciated by the judicious and intelligent reader. 

The first figures presented in the Catalogue are the publishers' retail prices, and the prices designated in full-face figures are the 
" net," or lowest prices at which the Union furnishes these books to any of its members. Very many of these "net" prices are only 
a trifle above the cost of the books, while the wide difference between them and the retail prices is manifest at a glance. This is 
one important advantage secured by membership in the American Buyers' Union. 
These prices, it must be understood, do not include postage on those books ordered to be forwarded by mail. 
Before ordering from any Department in this Catalogue, members are urged to become thoroughly familiar with the instructions 
concerning the proper methods of ordering and shipping goods, making remittances, etc. Special attention is directed to the quota- 
tions from the united states postage tables therein presented. For the further guidance of members, when ordering books, please 
note the following table of rates for the smaller sizes, to wit : 16mo. books. 10 cents ; 12mo., 12 cents ; 8vo., 15 cents.

DIAMONDS. 



In preparing the following pages, illustrating its regular numbers and sizes of Diamond Goods, the Union, acting upon its desire to studiously avoid the least 
misrepresentation or exaggeration, and at the same time to convey to its members, as nearly as possible, a faithful, exact conception of the character and appearance 
of them, has had these designs prepared and engraved, at a heavy cost, for the sole use of its members. From these, the most elaborate and perfect illustrations of 
Diamond goods ever produced, an intelligent, correct idea of the goods can be formed, second only to a personal examination. The diamonds are all of first quality, 
white in color, withont defects, and accurately cut; and full 18-carat gold is used for all mountings, except where otherwise specified in Price List. . 

To convey to members as correctly as possible an idea of the different weights of stones, and as an aid to comparison, there is here shown the sizes of Diamonds 
weighing from 1-16 of a carat up to 4 carats, as follows:

Until 1804 the Electoral voters were chosen by 
the Legislature of each State, and not by the 
people, hence no popular vote appears. 

New York failed to pass a proper election law 
in time to vote, and Rhode Island and North Car- 
olina had not adopted the Constitution, so their 
four votes were not cast. 

Each elector voted for two candidates, the high- 
est number tor one electing. 

There was no candidate for Vice-President, but 
John Adams, having the vote next highest after 
Washington, was declared Vice-President by the 
electors. 

Conn., N. J., Pa., Del., Md., Va., S. C. and Ga., cast 
their votes for Washington— 3 States not voting. 



November, 1792— Second Presidential Election— Washington Again Chosen.

This contest was won by the Democratic party, 
its first national victory after the election of Pres- 
ident James Buchanan, in 1856. The cause was 
attributed to a combination of circumstances, 
among which were dissatisfaction with the Repub- 
lican candidates, a consequent falling off of the 
Republican vote, and the introduction of distract- 
ing prohibition, greenback and other issues.

PICTURESQUE AND NOTABLE PLACES FREQUENTED AS PLEASURE RESORTS, 

Situated in Various Parts of the United States; 
Giving Historical Data, Facts, Figures and Special Features of Interest and Attraction Pertaining to Each. 



Adirondack Mountains, N. Y.— North- 
eastern New York, comprising the Counties of 
Hamilton, Franklin, Essex and Clinton, is now 
known to sportsmen and pleasure-seekers as the 
Adirondacks. A chain of mountains extends 
through the counties named, from northeast to 
southwest, on an elevated plateau, or ridge, 
which is nearly 2,000 feet higher than the surface 
of the Atlantic Ocean. Five of these mountains 
are remarkable for their height. Mount Marcy, 
the tallest, rises 5,337 feet above the sea level; 
Mounts St. Anthony and McMartin are each esti- 
mated to be 5,000 feet, and Mounts Emmons and 
Mclntyre, 4,000 feet above it. Owing to the 
irregularity of the mountain chain, and the con- 
sequent effect upon the country, the scenery 
Is grand and romantic. The rivers Au Sable 
and Saranac, originating in the recesses of the 
mountains, flow into Lake Champlain, on the east, 
while the Cedar and Boreas rivers, uniting with 
the headwaters of the Hudson, empty into that 
stream. There are numerous other rivers and 
creeks throughout the Adirondack region, with 
several ponds and lakes of varied magnitude, 
which add much to the grandeur and excellence 
of this famous resort. Game and fish are found 
within its borders. On the mountains abound 
groves and forests of ash, birch, beech, maple, 
hemlock, spruce, cedar, tamarack, fir and white 
pine trees. Rapids and falls in the streams, which 
are principally navigable for light boats, add 
diversity to the rugged surroundings. Tourists 
are conveyed by boats and footpaths to the numer- 
ous places of summer resort. Timber and iron ore 
form the principal staple productions of the Adi- 
rondack region, which is accessible by several 
railroad and water routes. 

Alexandria Bay, X. X-— At the approach 
of the St. Lawrence River, a short distance east 
of Kingston, Can., the tourist enters Alexandria 
Bay, quite as frequently designated " The Lake of 
the Thousand Isles," and which extends down the 
St. Lawrence forty miles, with a bre*adth of five 
miles. The scenery on this lake is among the fin- 
est on the continent. Scattered here and there, 
everywhere throughout the placid waters, lie 
1,692 islands, of every conceivable size and shape; 
some being mere rocky projections above the sur- 
face; others, nearly as small, covered with verd- 
ure, while others, of larger size, are luxuriant in 
shade trees and grassy plats, and often lying in 
most attractive clusters. One is 12 miles in 
length and 2 miles wide. The beautiful color of 
the leaves and grass is attributed to the bountiful 
supply of water surrounding the islands. Light- 
houses, indicating the frequent changes in the 
channel of the stream, add greatly to the pictur- 
esque diversity of the scenery; and on other 
islands have been erected elegant residences, with 
ornamental grounds. Hotels abound at several 
points, and boating, fishing and hunting offer 
variety and pleasure to the seeker of rest and 
recreation. 

Alleghany Springs, Va.- Within a few 
miles of Alleghany Station, Va. on the Pennsylva- 
nia Railroad, is situated this quiet and secluded 
health resort. The springs are of the saline class, 
abounding in Epsom salts, and the waters are es- 
teemed as a remedy in diseases of the stomach. 
A ride of eight miles brings the tourist to the cele- 
brated Puncheon Run Falls, where a mountain 
stream plunges, in cascades nearly perpendicular, 
a distance of 1,800 feet. In the vicinity of the 
springs, also, is u Fisher's View," revealing wild 
and beautiful scenery. 

Asbury Parle— Ocean ©rove— Not many 



years ago a company of Methodist clergymen and 
laymen in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylva- 
nia organized the Ocean. Grove Camp-Meeting 
Association, and secured seaside lands six miles 
south of Long Branch, N. J., upon which to estab- 
lish a permanent camping ground and summer 
resort for christian families. This is the now 
well-known Asbury Park and Ocean Grove. Under 
its charter the Association frames its own laws, 
and thus secures to visitors perfect freedom from 
the evils of liquor-selling, Sabbath desecration 
and all disturbing elements of society. A bracing 
atmosphere, boating, bathing and driving com- 
prise the principal attractions, and half a million 
of people, it is stated, annually avail themselves 
of its advantages. Asbury Park contains nearly 
500 acres, tastefully improved, and lies five 
miles south of Long Branch. 

Atlantic City, N. «J.— Between LongBranch 
and Cape May, on what is known as Absecom 
Beach, is located this attractive resort for invalids 
and tourists. Such are the advantages of its situa- 
tion on the seacoast, that both summer and win- 
ter it receives many visitors. During the warm 
weather there is safe and delightful surf-bathing, 
with notable facilities for sailing and fishing j 
while in the colder seasons the mild temperature, 
sunny skies and pleasant surroundings, make 
a sojourn there extremely agreeable. Atlantic 
City is a pleasant town, with handsome hotels, 
pretty cottages and wide and shady street?, suit- 
able for long drives, and possesses very desirable 
accommodations for the throngs who visit it. 
The ease with which it may be reached from Phila- 
delphia and New York add much to its popularity 
as a seaside resort. 

Au Sable Chasm— Among the many remark- 
able features of the Adirondack region, in New 
York, as described above, is a natural chasm in 
the Potsdam sandstone, through which the Au 
Sable river flows from the northern termination 
of the Adirondack Mountains toward Lake 
Champlain. This channel is in some places near- 
ly two hundred feet deep, and overshadowed by 
cedar trees and tall precipices of varied shapes. 
At one point the channel is only ten feet in width, 
while at another it expands to fifty feet. The 
chasm is nearly two miles long, and the dark and 
raging waters dash madly down shallow rapids, 
cascades and falls, leaping in one place, a distance 
of twenty feet, and at another, sixty feet — the 
whole forming a scene that rivals the famous 
cataracts of mountain streams in Switzerland. 
The surroundings are as remarkable as the chasm 
itself, embracing views of mountain ranges and 
peaks, and Lake Champlain. The pleasure-seeker 
in this locality may enjoy fine drives and rambles, 
fresh air and good fishing stations, 

BarnegatCityBeach, N. J. — On the New 

Jersey seacoast, three miles from Barnegat City, 
and fourteen miles from Barnegat Bay Station on 
the Pennsylvania Railroad (by steamer) this new 
summer resort invites visitors by its beautiful 
location, its numerous cottages and its still and 
surf-bathing, hunting, fishing, boating and other 
recreations. 

Bedford Springs, Pa.— In 1804 a remark- 
able cure developed the presence of a valuable 
health-restoring spring at this point, and the 
locality soon became the summer resort of numer- 
ous visitors. The great natural beauty of the 
valley invests it with increased interest. From it, 
on the west, in the vicinity of the springs, abrupt- 
ly rises the spur of a mountain; while, on the east, 
is found a similar elevation clothed with delight- 



the variety and beauty of their scenery. The ease 
ful woods. At its foot meanders a gentle stream, 
and from a fissure in the limestone flows the 
spring, discharging a barrel a minute. Above it 
the hill is supplied with terraced walks, leading 
to the summit, where a pavilion offers rest and 
affords a sufficient recompense for the labor of 
the ascent by the beautiful view of the sun-ound- 
ing scenery which it presents. The water of the 
spring is greatly esteemed for its medicinal vir- 
tues. 

Berkeley Springs, W. Va.— This beauti 
ful spot was a favorite with General Washington, 
and subsequently became the resort of the gay 
and wealthy from all the adjacent country, and 
in, the elements of a .fashionable watering-place 
soon rose to the dignity of a rival to more famous 
resorts. The scenery is attractive, and the place 
maintains its reputation by its spring, which 
affords abundant opportunities for drinking and 
bathing in its healthful waters. 

Blue Mountain Lake— In the Adirondack 
(N. Y.) Region, at the base of Blue Mountain, 
rising to a height of 3,824 feet, lies this beautiful 
sheet of water, which forms one of the finest at- 
tractions of this great resort. A line of steamers 
make daily trips through this and the neighbor- 
ing lakes, Raquette, Eagle and Utowana, a dis- 
tance of twenty miles, and even twenty miles 
further, passing through Forked Lake and Long 
Lake to Saranac. Blue Mountain Lake is 3>£ 
miles long and 2 miles wide; Eagle Lake, 2 miles 
long and y z mile wide; Utowana Lake, 3 miles 
long and 1 mile wide. 

Blue Kidge Springs, Va.- More than 1,200 
feet above the ocean surface, and forty miles from 
Lynchburg, Va., is situated this quiet and agree- 
able resting-place for health-hunters. The mount- 
ain air, and eerated waters make it a favorite 
resort. 

California Biff Trees— Forty-seven miles 
from Milton Station, on the Stockton and Copper- 
opolis (Cala.) Railway, the tourist comes upon the 
Calaveras Big Trees, the highest of which tapers 
upward a distance of 435 feet, and has a circum- 
ference, near the ground, of 110 feet, while anoth- 
er, forty miles from Vis alia, on King's River, 
measures 44 feet in diameter. This is the largest 
in California. The Maiiposa group of forest 
giants comprises 600 trees, 125 of which are each 
over 13 feet thick, while several are from 30 to 33 
feet in diameter. One, remarkable for its grand 
dimensions, rises to a height of 90 feet and there 
throws out a limb having a thickness of six feet. 
The route to the Tosemite Valley passes near 
these monsters. 

Cape IMCay, X. J.— For particular excellence 
in whatever pertains to a delightful seaside water- 
ing place, Cape May has become justly cele- 
brated. All that nature had left undone, the 
improvement of the age has supplied, for the 
health, comfort and enjoyment of old and young. 
The beach ranks among the finest elswherc for the 
purposes of bathing, promenading or driving, 
while the city itself, with its broad avenues lying 
between lines of shade-trees, and abounding in 
handsome residences, hotels and ornamental 
grounds, invites thousands of gay and cultured 
people from all parts of the Union, to enjoy its 
beauties. 

CatKkill Mountains — Running parallel 
with the Hudson river, along the west bank, prin- 
cipally in Greene Co., N. Y., a distance of about 
twelve miles, the CatskiU Mountains have been 
a source of wonder and delight to thousands for 



SUGGESTIONS AND DIRECTIONS CONCERNING MANAGEMENT OF FESTAL OCCASIONS.

THE BANQUET HALL. 




Order and Arrangement of the Banquet. 



I ANQUETS are given in honor either of some noted occasion, or 
some distinguished foreigner or prominent citizen, generally 
by an organization or association of men. A committee of ar- 
rangements is appointed, which has the entire control and manage- 
ment of the affair, and which is subdivided into committees on in- 
vitation, finance, supper, etc. , etc. Invitations, handsomely gotten up, 
are issued several days before the banquet is to come off, and read 
generally in this wise: 

"The Chamber of Commerce of the city of request the pleas- 
ure of your presence at a banquet to be given at the House, on 

Thursday evening, 
the 21st of De- 
cember next, at 8 
o'clock, in honor 
of the Centennial 
of American In- 
dependence. You 
are invited to re- 
spond to the toast, 
'Our Pilgrim 
Fathers.' " 

On the evening 
named the guest 
is expected to pre- 
sent his card of in- 
vitation (which he 
generally retains 
as a memento or 
souvenir), at the 
time and place 
named, when he is 
shown into a par- 
lor or reception 
room, where he is 
received by the 
committee and in- 
troduced to such of 
the guests as he 
may be unacquain- 
ted with. Some 
little time having 
been spent in con- 
versation, the 
guests are grad- 
ually marshalled, 
and at the signal 
from the head- 
waiter that the banquet is served, the guests are escorted by the 
committee to the hall, and, while the more prominent are conducted 
to the center- table, the others are ushered to seats at the tables on 
either hand, the reporters being favorably placed at a table of their 
own, or interpersed among the other guests. All are expected 
to stand opposite their respective places until a signal be given by 
the presiding officer, who, if a clergyman be present, generally re- 
quests him to ask a blessing. 

Being seated, each guest finds before him a plate, with a napkin, on 
which rests a button-hole bouquet, a finger bowl with its doiley, a goblet 
for water, and a variety of glasses for wines of different kinds, should 
wine be admitted, together with an elaborately gotten up menu, or bill 




/3\N the occasion of a banquet, the hall is usually 
^2/ trimmed with decorations suitable for the event, 
and various methods are pursued in arranging the 
tables, the one here shown being a common one. 
Two long tables extend lengthwise of the room. At 
the end of these is a table across the end of the hall 



of fare. The bouquet he is expected to attach to his coat, and he is 
privileged to retain the menu as a Eouvenir of the occasion, if he 
desires so to do. 

The guests being seated, the waiter immediately serves them through 
the various courses, from oysters to nuts and apples and cream or 
roman punch. Etiquette forbids that the guest shall eat heartily of 
any of the viands, or drink deeply of the wines which in some in- 
stances are served with each course. On no account should he ask 
that his plate or his glass be replenished, as this would mark him as 
vulgar. An exception to this rule may be made in the case of cham- 
pagne, as this wine is not considered intoxicating, and it is generally 

served with the 
dessert. It is the 
wine in which the 
toasts are drank. 
After the various 
coursesare served, 
which usually re- 
quires from an 
hour to an hour and 
a half, the presid- 
ing officer raps to 
order, and in a 
short and pithy 
speech announces 
the object of the 
meeting, the pur- 
pose of the ban- 
quet, and, if it is 
in honor of an in- 
dividual, proposes 
the health of such 
individual, where- 
upon the guests 
all rise, except the 
party toasted, 
drink the toast 
standing, and gen- 
erally give cheers 
to the distinguish- 
ed guest. Should 
the banquet be 
given in honor of 
an occasion, the 
chairman proposes 
as a toast, "The 
day we celebrate," 
which likewise is 
frequently drank standing. A series of toasts are then read, drank, 
and responded to by parties who have been invited to do so, and who 
are expected to prepare and deliver a short, witty and mirth-pro- 
voking speech. Music follows each toast — if it has been provided 
— or a quartette of male voices is introduced; a good singer among 
the guests is frequently called upon to entertain his fellow-guests, 
and it is esteemed unkind for him to decline. After the regular 
toasts have been responded to, the chairman may call upon any in- 
dividual in the company for remarks, until the hour for adjournment 
has arrived, when the musicians are called upon for " Auld Lang 
Syne," or " Home, Sweet Home," and the party is dispersed. 
Brief, appropriate banquet speeches follow on succeeding pages.

guests at this table occupy one

THE BAPTISMAL SERVICE. 



According to the General Church Forms. 



^ENERALLY the baptism of children forms a part of the morn- 
ing services of the church, after the opening prayer, the first 
hymn, and the responsive reading of selections from the Psalms. 
The minister coming from the pulpit into the chancel, the parents, 
guardians, godfathers and godmolhers (if there are any) range them- 
selves before him, with the child, or children, uncovered, in front of 
the baptismal font. Then the minister addresses the congregation: 

Address to the Congregation. 

Dearly Beloved: You have heard in the Gospel the words of our 
Saviour, comman- 
ding children to 
be brought to him ; 
how he blamed all 
those who would 
have kept them 
from him; bow he 
exhorts all men to 
follow innocency 
as little children. 
You perceive how 
by his outward 
conduct and gentle 
words, he declared 
his good-will to- 
ward them ; for he 
took them into his 
arms, laid his 
hands upon them 
and blessed tbem. 
You are not to 
doubt, therefore, 
but earnestly be- 
lieve, that he will 
likewise favorably 
receive these in- 
fants now present- 
ed here for bap- 
tism; that he will 
embrace themwith 
the arms of his 
love and mercy; 
that he will make 
them partakers of 
his everlasting 
kingdom. 

Being thus per- 
suaded, let us de- 
voutly return 
thanks: 



tue and truth. 




certain days throughout the 
year, it is customary, in most 
churches, to baptize those children 
that may be presented by their pa- 
rents. At that time, in commemoration of the oc- 
casion, it is usual to decorate the church beautifully 



Almighty God, our 
Heavenly Father, 
we thank Thee that 
Thou hast brought 
us ro a certain know- 
ledge of the truth, 

and that Thou wilt make these children inheritors of eternal life. We pray 
Thee to increase in us knowledge. Bestow upon these infants Thy heavenly 
blessing, and enable them by Thy grace to overcome evil and to accept Thee 
for their best friend, Saviour, counselor and guide, following Thee in all wis- 
dom, humility and obedience. Bless these parents and guardians, and help 
them by Thy grace and Spirit to bring up -these children in the nurture and 
admonition of the Lord, so that both parents and children may be united 
to Thee on earth and together enjoy the pleasures of the world to come. 
Amen. 

Naming each one separately and distinctly, as he comes to it, 
the minister, who usually baptizes by sprinkling water upon the 
child's head, says: 

(Naming it), I baptize thee in the name of the Father, and of the 
Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. 

When all have been baptized, the minister addresses the parents 
and guardians as follows: 



Beloved: The children of our love should come to us as bless- 
ings, gathering like " olive-plants about our table," living "well- 
springs of pleasure " in our homes. Yet while we enjoy their pres- 
ence, their winning ways, their loving smiles and innocent amuse- 
ments, we should never forget our responsibility in bringing them 
into this world, nor the duty which their coming imposes upon us 
From the moment that they enter into our households, until they go 
hence in the strength of manhood and womanhood, upon us rests the 
burden of preparing them for good and useful lives. 

Not only have we to provide, day by day, for their bodily needs, 
their comfort and their education, but a heavier responsibility rests 
upon us of instilling into their innocent minds the principles of vir- 
The wisest man that ever lived has left it on record 

for our instruction 
that if we " train 
up a child in the 
way he should go, 
when he is old he 
will not depart 
from it." Thus 
much for our en- 
couragement to 
teach the right 
thing in the right 
way; to guide the 
young to do the 
right and avoid the 
wrong; to lead 
them in the paths 
of moral integrity, 
to respect the 
rights of others, 
and to become so- 
ber, industrious, 
honest, polite and 
trustworthy men 
and women. 

In accordance 
with our religion, 
we may — nay, we 
should — devote 
ourselves to this 
service, believing 
that the Divine 
blessing attends 
the proper in- 
struction of an in- 
fant soul. There- 
fore, by this act of 
baptism, we to-day 
consecrate them to 
the cause of truth 
and purity, believ- 
ing that with the 
blessing of heaven 
upon our endeav- 
ors they may be- 
come happy and prosperous, and be helpful to others who are not so. 
In the water which we place upon their foreheads we behold the 
representative of that purity and innocency which we would preserve 
in their existence. 

And to you who have brought these children into being, and have 
presented them at this altar, we look for the solemn promise that as 
your circumstances permit, will you follow the injunction to lead 
them carefully in wisdom's ways, always having their best interests, 
spiritual and moral, as well as physical and mental, at heart, en- 
couraging them in seeking after truth and embracing it; by your ex- 
ample, also, teaching them to live aright? 
Answer — We will. 

We, therefore, welcome these little ones into the visible and cor- 
porate church of Christ on earth. Then follows a brief prayer. 
Parents and children then retire, and the regular service proceeds.

Suggestions About Shopping. Conduct in the Store. 



PURCHASERS should, as far as possible, patronize the merchants 
of their own town. It is poor policy to send money abroad for 
articles which can be bought as cheaply at home. 

Do not take hold of a piece of goods which another is examining. 
Wait until it is replaced upon the counter before you take it up. 

Injuring goods when handling, pushing aside other persons, loung- 
ing upon the counter, whispering, loud talk and laughter, when in a 
store, are all evidences of ill-breeding. 

Never attempt to " beat down " prices when shopping. If the 
price does not suit, go elsewhere. The just and upright merchant 
will have but one price for his goods, and he will strictly adhere to it. 

It is an insult to a clerk or merchant to suggest to a customer 
about to purchase that he may buy cheaper or better elsewhere. It 
is also rude to give your opinion, unasked, about the goods that 
another is purchasing. 

Never expect a clerk to leave another customer to wait on you ; 
and, when attending upon you, do not cause him to wait while you 
visit with another. When the purchases are made let them be sent 
to your home, and thus avoid loading yourself with bundles. 

Treat clerks, when shopping, respectfully, and give them no more 
trouble than is necessary. Ask for what is wanted, explicitly, and 



if yon wish to make examination with a view to future purchase, say 
so. Be perfectly frank. There is no necessity for practicing deceit. 

The rule should be to pay for goods when you buy them. If, how- 
ever, you are trusted by the merchant, you should be very particular 
to pay yoivr indebtedness when you agree to. By doing as you prom- 
ise, you acquire habits of promptitude, and at the same time estab- 
lish credit and make reputation among those with whom you deal. 

It is rude in the extreme to find fault and to make sneering 
remarks about goods. To draw unfavorable comparisons between 
th3 goods and those found at other stores does no good, and shows 
want of deference and respect to those who are waiting on you. 
Politely state that the goods are not what you want, and, while you 
may buy, you prefer to look further. 

If a mistake has been made whereby you have been given more 
goods than you paid for, or have received more change than was 
your due, go immediately and have the error rectified. You cannot 
afford to sink your moral character by taking advantage of such mis- 
takes. If yon had made an error to your disadvantage, as a merchant, 
you would wish the customer to return and make it right. You 
should do as you would be done by. Permanent success depends 
upon your being strictly honest. 



Say "No 

A COMMON saying is, "A man's manners make his fortune." 
This is a well-known fact, and we see it illustrated every day. 
The parents who considerately train a child amid kindness and 
love, rear a support for their declining years. The teacher that rules 
well and is yet kind, is beloved by his pupils. The hotel proprietor, 
by affability and an accommodating spirit, may fill his hotel with 
guests. The railway conductor who has a pleasant word for the 
lonely traveler, is always remembered with favor. The postoffice 
clerk who very carefully looks through a pile of letters and says, 
"not any" very gently, pleasantly adding a word of hope by saying, 
"it may come on the afternoon train," we always gratefully 



Politely. 



recollect. When the time comes that we can return the kindness, 
we take great pleasure in doing so. 

The man who shows himself to be a gentleman, even though he 
may not buy what we have to sell when we solicit him, we always 
know will get his reward. His affability, when he declined, demon- 
strated that he could say "no" with a pleasant word. The very fact 
of his impressing us so favorably, even when he did not purchase, 
clearly indicated that he was thoroughly schooled in the ways of 
politeness, and that he lived up to the golden rule of doing to others 
as he desired others to do to him. 



SUGGESTIONS TO TEACHERS. 




Etiquette in the School. 



tejfliljgi'HE following are the requisites for snc 



management 



school - 



The teacher must be a good judge of human 
nature. If so, his knowledge will teach him that 
no two children are born with precisely the same 
organization. This difference in mentality will make one child a 
natural linguist, another will naturally excel in mathematics, 
another will exhibit a fondness for drawing, and another for philoso- 
phy. Understanding and observing this, he will, without anger or 
impatience, assist the backward student, and will direct the more 
forward, ever addressing each child in the most respectful manner. 

As few rules as possible should be made, and the object and neces- 
sity for the rule should be fully explained to the school by the 
teacher. When a rule has been made obedience to it should be 
enforced. Firmness, united with gentleness, is one of the most 
important qualifications which a teacher can possess. 

Everything should be in order and the exercises of the day should 
be carried forward according toan arranged programme. The rooms 
should he swept, the fires built and the first and second bells rung 
with exact punctuality. In the same manner each recitation should 
come at an appointed time throughout the school hours. 

The programme of exercises should be so varied as to give each 
pupil a variety of bodily and mental exercise. Thus, music, recrea- 
tion, study, recitation, declamation, etc., should be so varied as to 
develop all the child's powers. Not only should boys and girls store 
their minds with knowledge, but they should be trained in the best 
methods of writing and speaking, whereby they may he able to impart 
the knowledge which they possess. 

The teacher should require the strictest order and neatness upon 
the part of all the students. Clean hands, clean face and neatly 
combed hair should characterize every pupil, while a mat in the door- 



way should remind every boy 
and girl of the necessity of 
entering the schoolroom with 
clean boots and shoes. Hab- 
its of neatness and order 
thus formed will go with the 
pupils through life. 

At least a portion of each 
day should be set apart by 
the teacher in which to im- 
part to thepupilsa knowledge 
of etiquette. Students should 
be trained to enter the room 
quietly, to always close with- 
out noise the door through 
which they pass, to make 
introductions gracefully, to 
bow with ease and dignity, 
to shake hands properly, to 
address others courteously, 
to make a polite reply when 
spoken to, to sit and stand 
gracefully, to do the right 
thing in the right place, and 
thus, upon all occasions, to 
appear to advantage. 

All the furnishings of the 
schoolroom should be such 
as to inspire the holiest, loft- 
iest and noblest ambition in 
the child. A schoolroom should be handsomely decorated. The 
aquarium, the trailing vine, the blossom and the specimens of natural 
history should adorn the teacher's desk and the windows, while 
handsome pictures should embellish the walls. In short, the pupils 
should be surrounded with such an array of beauty as will constantly 
inspire them to higher and nobler achievements. 

Boys and girls should be taught that which they will use when they 
become men and women. In the first place they will talk more than 
they will do anything else. By every means possible they should be 
trained to be correct, easy, fluent and pleasant speakers ; and next to 
this they should be trained to be ready writers. To be this, they 
should be schooled in penmanship, punctuation, capitalization, com- 
position and the writing of every description of forms, from the note 
of invitation to an agreement, from the epistle to a friend to the 
promissory note, from the letter of introduction to the report of a 
meeting. 

Above all, the teacher should be thoroughly imbued with the im- 
portance of inculcating in the mind of the student a knowledge of 
general principles. Thus, in the study of geography, the pupil 
should be taught that the earth is spherical in form; that its outer 
surface is divided into land and water; that the land is divided into 
certain grand sections, peopled with different races of human beings 
who exhibit special characteristics. That civilization is the result 
of certain causes, and progress in the human race arises from the 
inevitable law of nature that everything goes from the lower steadily 
toward the higher. A study of the causes which make difference 
in climate, difference in animals, difference in intellectual and moral 
developments among the races — a general study of causes thus will 
make such an impression upon the child's mind as will never be 
effaced; while the simple study of facts such as load the mind with 
names of bays, islands, rivers, etc. , is the crowding of the memory 
with that which is likely in time to be nearly all forgotten.

"H~=# o@£S*<$ 




OR THE purpose of setting clearly before 
the student in elocution and oratory the 
gesture, posture, and expression of face ap- 
propriate to 



the delineation of an 
emotion or thought 
of the mind the ac- 
companying illus- 
trations are given. 

They are prepar- 
ed by us from atti- 
tudes representing 
Prof. Walter C.Ly- 
man, a teacher of 
elocution and voice 
culture in Chicago, 
who has graduated 
from his classes ma- 
ny superior readers, 
several of whom 
have been success- 
ful in attracting to 
themselves upon 
the stage much at- 
tention, because of 
their faithful ren- 
dition of character. 

Following these 
fourteen illustra- 
tions, representing 
the Professor in 
various attitudes, 
are twelve repre- 
sentations by Miss 




n 



Unexcited. 

LL the muscles of the features, limbs 
and body are relaxed; the eyes as- 
sume a mild and quiet expression; the 
brow is expanded and un wrinkled; the 
arms and hands hang idly by the side ; 
one foot is slightly advanced, but I he 
body rests lightly upon both; the voice 
is natural and cheerful, as illustrated 
in the following example : 

Ladies and Gentlemen — In com- 
pliance with the request of the publish- 
ers of this work, I herewith submit to 
you the following illustrations as rep- 
resentations of the gesture, posture and 
facial expression, indicative of the 
emotion, thought, or sentiment, which 
may stir the heart under varying cir- 
cumstances. 

The highest degree of power by the

Professor Lyman's. 

Much care has been taken in the production of 
these illustrations to truthfully represent natural 
posture, and a correct, clearly defined expression 



of the face, when actuated by passion, sentiment, 
or emotion. To the multitude of students in the 
field of elocutionary study, these examples from 

life will be invalua- 
ble as giving need- 
ed instruction in 
this important art. 
An interesting 
study is found in 
the contrasts of the 
appearance of the 
individual when 
representing these 
various sentiments 
and emotions. 

While Dignity 
expresses manhood 
in its self-possessed 
and energetic mood, 
Fear cringes and 
shrinks, and trem- 
bles, and the two

downward ; the body inclines forward ; 
the hands are wrung; the lower limbs 
are relaxed and retiring; the move- 
ments are slow, and the voice low, un- 
less the grief is excessive, and the breath 
comes and goes with agitation, broken 
by moans and sobs.

than I can bear !

anticipation, were so near their haven, . j 

and so near the husband's and father's hlblts desire and hu-

— the sense of loss in its most extreme form.

THE ADVANCEMENT OF WOMAN TO NEW FIELDS OF LABOR. 






2-f 






(&°<^ 






RESULTS OF HIGHER CIVILIZATION. 



19S"£ 



-f~*~ 



rF|HE civilization of the age is signalized by the 
advancement of woman to a higher plane 
of thought and action than she formerly oc- 
cupied. Among the savage nations, wo- 
man's condition is that of the very lowest ; 
in the semi-civilized countries she is largely 
regarded as tit only for menial labor, and 
even in civilized Europe, to-day, among the lower 
classes, the woman, 
harnessed with a 
dog, transports a 
large share of the 
produce to market, 
and in the same 
manner she serves 
as a creature of 
burden in scaven- 
ger and other 
work. 

Only back to the 
first of this century, 
among the most in- 
telligent of our 
best society in 
America and Eu- 
rope, woman was 
thought unworthy 
and incompetent 
to perform work 
requi ring any great 
degree of intellect- 
uality. She was 
permitted to teach 
primary schools at 
a very low salary ; 
beyond that, very 
few intellectual 
pursuits were open 
to her outside ot'lit- 
erature. 

Gradually, how- 
ever, woman has 
beaten her way to the front, in spite of ridicule, 
jealousy and opposition. College trustees have 
resisted the opening of their doors to her; the 
managers of higher institutions of learning have 
opposed the idea of employing her as the superin- 
tendent of their schools. Physicians have fought 
against her invading their domain. Church- 
goers have insisted that they would never listen 





to a woman-preacher. Lawyers have laughed at 
the _ suggestion that she might enter their pro- 
fession, and judges in authority have refused her 
admission to practice in certain courts. 

But the march of progress has been forward, 
and the intelligent sentiment of the age has de- 
manded that woman be allowed to enter any pur- 
suit, the work of which she could perform just as 

well as men. The 
result has been the 
filling of hundreds 
of clerkships in the 
Treasury Depart- 
ment at 



Washing- 
ton with women, 
very satisfactorily 
to the government 
and all parties 
concerned. Large 
numbers have en- 
tered the postal ser- 
vice, holding va- 
rious important po- 
sitions. Thous- 
ands have gone into 
the educational 
field, and as teach- 
ers, managers, and 
heads of academ- 
ies, seminaries, 
and advanced pub- 
lic schools, have 
demonstrated both 
business capacity 
and intellectual tal- 



ent of a high order, 
large 



A large percen- 
tage of women are 
successfully engag- 
ed in mercantile 
pursuits. She is 
well represented 
in the medical profession, she is fast entering the 
pulpit, and the time is not far distant when on 
the platform, whether engaged in general lecture, 
moral teaching, political discussion, or legal ar- 
gument, she will be found the exponent of truth 
and co-worker with man in reform. And while 
all this transpires she will be no less the kind 
mother, and the devoted, faithful wife.

INTENSE FEELING AS EXPRESSED IN FACE AND GESTURE. 




EffO represent the expression of Love with fidel- 
ity to nature, the 



nature, 
gaze should be 
intently fixed up- 
on the object of affection, 
with mingled tenderness 
and admiration ; the 
hands are clasped in the 
fervency of emotion ; the 
head and body incline 
forward ; the features 
indicate earnestness, 
the lips being slightly 
parted , the lower limbs 
are firmly balanced up- 
on the feet, and the voice 
is mild and melodious, 
in harmony with the 
thoughts of the heart. 
Love is a beautifier. 




Love.

And the oftener you come the more I'll adore you ! 
Light is my heart since the day we were plighted, 
Red is my cheek that they told me was blighted; 
How sweet is the thought, to be ever united:" 



GITATION and disorder mark the whole 
■ appearance in Mad- 
IMi ness. Every move- 
ment is sudden 
and irregular, quick and 
uncontrolled ; the eyes, 
extended to their utmost 
limit, protrude wildly 
and turn rapidly from 
object to object ; the hair 
is tossed loosely about 
the head and face ; the 
open hands are thrown 
upward to the head, and 
press and clasp and tou- 
sle it as if to drive away 
the agony of the brain ; 
the breath comes and 
goes excitedly ; the coun- 
tenance is distorted. Madness-' 

Example — " Here have I watched, in this dungeon cell, 
Longer than memory's tongue can tell; 
Here have I shrieked in my wild despair, 
When the damned fiends from their prison came, 
Sported and gamboled, and mocked me here, 
With their eyes of fire, and their tongues of flame, 
Shouting forever and aye my name. " 




'EPRESENTING Dignity, the step is firm ; the 

body is stretched to 
its full height ; the head 
is elevated and poised 
a little to one side ; the 
eyes are wide-open, 
"with a downward ten- 
dency ; " the brow is ex- 
panded ; the right arm 
is thrown energetically 
across the chest, assert- 
ing the right to speak 
and the will to enforce 
that right ; every mus- 
cle is firmly set, and the 
voice is slightly raised, 
with a tone of command 
that signifies possession 
of a perfect woman- 
Dignity, hood. 

Example — " I perjure myself, — I sink my soul in falsehood to 
gratify your greed for gold? — never 1 Out, wretch I leave my sight for- 
ever! Think you that I have no knowledge of the difference between 
right and wrong? Think you I would blast the happiness of another 
and carry in my heart forever the knowledge of a lie for a few paltry 
dollars? And you thought to tempt me to this by an offer of money. 
Base creature,-! despise you I Begone !-never let me see you more 1 "

Earnestness, the form assumes its full height ; 

the head is erect, 
with the features 
slightly elevated; 
the breath has a 
firm, quickened 
movement; the 
eyes are clear and 
the brows knit; 
the voice is deep ; 
the lips are slight- 
ly compressed; 
the countenance 
is fearless ; the 
right arm is ex- 
tended, with the 
open palm of the 
hand turned up- 
ward, and there is 
Earnestness: a dignified air. 

Example — " You think I love it I If this nerveless hand 
Could gain immortal strength, this very hour, 
I'd sweep this hellish traffic from the land, 
And crush its blighting, maddening, nightmare power 
Yea, now, with all my latest dying breath, 
I'll curse the thing that drags me down to death 1 — 
Aye, curse it ever, ever I"

VARIOUS FORMS IN USE BY THE GRAND ARMY OF THE REPUBLIC. 



every citizen ; that, as we stand by every grave as before an altar, 
we may pledge our manhood that, so help us God, the memory of our 
dead shall encourage and strengthen in us all a more loyal patriot- 
ism." 

Words of the Officer and Chaplain. 

At the close of this address, the Officer of the Day says: 
" In your name, my comrades, I scatter (or deposit) these me- 
morial flowers upon this grave (or monument), which represents the 
graves of all who died in the sacred cause of our country. Our 
floral tribute shall wither. Let the tender fraternal love for which it 
stands endure until the touch of death shall chill the warm pulse- 
beats of our hearts." 

The Chaplain then adds : 

" Comrades, by this service, without distinction of race or creed, 
we renew our pledge to exercise a spirit of fraternity among our- 
selves, of charity to the destitute wards of the Grand Army, and of 
loyalty to the authority and union of the United States of America, 
and to our glorious flag, under whose folds every Union soldier's or 
sailor's grave is the altar of patriotism. " 

G. A. R. Public Exercises in a Hall. 

Should inclement weather interfere with the foregoing exercises 
at the cemetery, the public is invited to join the comrades in cele- 
brating the day in some hall. 

The audience having been seated, the Post enter in uniform, with 
their heads covered, and stand in the portion of the hall assigned to 
them. On the platform sit invited guests, the orator of the day, and 
the Chaplain. 

The Commander, standing before the comrades, or on the platform, 
calls the Post to order, to hear the Adjutant read such portions of 
instructions from departmental headquarters as may have been pre- 
viously selected by the Commander. 

The Commander's Speech on Decoration. 

When the Adjutant has finished reading, the Commander says: 
"Obedience is a soldier's duty. It is not, however, merely in 
obedience to the orders read that we assemble here. The most gen- 
erous instincts of our hearts prompt us to do what the orders from 
headquarters command. This day commemorates a valor on sea and 
on land that is illustrious. This day is eloquent with a patriotism 
which did not speak only from the lips. This day is sacred with the 
almost visible presence of those who, out of prison-pens and hospi- 
tals, from camps and battlefields, have joined the innumerable com- 
pany of those who muster to-day upon the parade-ground of heaven. 
Comrades, salute the dead!" 

At this order the Commander, with each comrade, places his left 
hand upon his heart, and with his right hand raises his hat from his 
head. After remaining in this position, in silence, for a moment, 
the Commander drops his left hand by his side, replaces his hat on 
his head, and commands the Post to uncover and be seated. 

Words of Welcome. 

Removing his hat, after quiet is restored, the Commander says to 
the audience: 

"Friends: As Commander of this Post, I welcome you, in the 
name of my comrades, to this public service. To us Decoration-Day 
is the memorial day of stalwart bravery, of patriotic heroism, of na- 
tional faith. It is the freedom day of a race emancipated from 
bondage, and of a nation redeemed from iniquity. It is dear to every 
soldier. It deepens in our hearts a memory of our brave and our 
beloved, — the grand army of the immortals; and that mamory makes 
precious to us the badge of the G. A. R. , which we wear upon 
our breasts. May we join so reverently in these exercises that what 
we call a decoration-day may be to our dead their day of corona- 
tion." 

Dedication Services. 

The following are the forms of dedicating memorial shafts, statues, 
tablets, etc., as established by the Grand Army of the Republic. 

The city or town officials and other guests of the soeiety, by in- 
vitation, assemble at the hall, monument, or other designated place, 
and are seated on the platform. At the front of the platform stands 
a table or desk, covered with an American flag, upon which rest two 
crossed swords, with their points toward the audience, and upon 
these an open Bible. The comrades of the dedicating Post are drawn 



up in front of the platform, and, if in the outer air, as near the ob- 
ject of dedication as possible. 

After music by the band, or choir, the civil authority, usually Ihc- 
mayorof a city, president of the village, chairman of the town hoard, 
or some other selected officer, addresses the Commander of the Post, 
in substance, as follows: 

" Commander — I have been authorized to invite you at this time to 
accept from the citizens of , at the hands of its accredited rep- 
resentatives, this memorial, and to request that it may be dedicated 
by you to the noble purpose for which it has been set up (or 
erected.)" 

The Commander's Speech of Thanks. 

The Commander responds, addressing the civil officer by his title: 
" In the name of my comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic, 
representing as they do all soldiers and sailors who defended the in- 
tegrity and authority of the nation, I thank you and those whom you 
represent, for this memorial, (naming it.) Its very silence is im- 
pressive. Without articulate speech it is eloquent. It needs no 
words. It is itself an oration. It assures us that our dead are held 
in remembrance — those dead who gave their lives for the security of 
the citizen and the union of the States. It is significant of brave and 
loyal obedience to the command of the nation always and everywhere, 
since the obligations of citizenship are not restricted to time or place, 
or to the conflict of arms. It gives encouragement for the future, 
since the recognition and approval it gives of patriotic fidelity and 
heroism will be an incentive for the display of public valor and virtue 
in all coming time. There can be no doubt that the honor you pay 
to the patriot dead, and to their memorable deeds, will serve not only 
to make American citizenship in these days more reputable, but also 
to maintain and perpetuate, through all future generations, the union 
and authority of the United States of America. " 

Commander's Dedication Speech. 

The Commander, giving the order, " Attention, Post!" here says. 

" In the name of the Grand Army of the Republic, I now dedicate 
this memorial (naming it. ) I dedicate it to the memory of those 
who in the navy (the sailor on guard salutes) guarded our inland seas 
and ocean coasts, and fell in defense of the flag. I dedicate it to the 
memory of those who in the army (the soldier on guard salutes) 
fought for our hillsides and valleys and plains, and fell in defense of 
the flag. I dedicate it to the memory of those who on land and sea 
fought for the Union, and fell in defense of the flag; (the guard of 
honor salutes and stands at salute) who on land and sea fought for the 
authority of the Constitution, and fell in defense of the flag; who on 
land and on sea fought for their country, and fell in the defense of 
the flag. Comrades, salute the dead!" 

G. A. R. Burial Service 

Of soldiers or sailors belonging to the society of the Grand Army of 
the Republic. 

At the request of the family or friends of a deceased soldier or 
sailor who has been honorably discharged from the national service, 
a Post may participate in the funeral ceremonies, if so disposed. 

Assembling at the recent residence of the deceased, or wherever 
the religious services have been appointed, the Commander details 
the usual number of comrades to act as pall-bearers, if no others 
have already been selected. 

The corpse is then escorted to the grave by comrades, us set forth 
in army regulations, the left in front, a guard of honor surrounding 
the remains, and the hearse preceded by the Post, in charge of the 
Officer of the Day. 

At the grave the Post halts, forming two lines, between which the 
remains pass to the front, where they are placed upon a bier. 

Ceremonies at the Grave. 

If the nature of the ground permits, the Post forms about the grave 
in the manner best suited to participation in the obsequies, and the 
ceremony proceeds as follows: 

The Commander stands at the head of the coffin; the Chaplain at 
its foot; the officers and Past-Commander in the rear of the Com- 
mander; the Post behind the Chaplain, and the Post colors stationed 
in the front. 

This arrangement having been completed, the Commander says: 

" Assembled to pay our last tribute of respect to this dead soldier

POSTPONEMENT ; QUORUM ; EIGHT TO FLOOR ; SUSPENSION OF RULES. 



6. Papers relating to measures in charge of a committee may 
be received and sent to the committee without reading; although, if in- 
sisted upon, they must be read aloud to the assembly. 

POSTPONEMENT. 

1. Motions to postpone action on any measure before the as- 
sembly are of two kinds. 

2. One kind proposes a postponement to a definite date; the 
other, a postponement indefinitely. 

3. A motion for either is debatable, and may be so amended as 
to fix a time, or change a time, to which the postponement ex- 
tends. 

4. Such an amendment changes an indefinite postponement to a 
definite one. 

5. A motion to postpone a measure supersedes a motion to 
refer it to a committee, to amend it, or to call the previous question, 
until the proposed postponement is voted down. 

6. A motion to postpone indefinitely opens the main question 
to debate. 

7. If such a motion is carried, it permanently suspends all 
further consideration of the main question and subsidiary motions 
relating to it. 

8. If such a motion is defeated, consideration of the measure 
may be resumed at the point of proceedings when it was interrupted. 

PRIVILEGED QUESTIONS. 

1. Privileged questions, as noted below, possess more import- 
ance than all other motions or questions under discussion. 

2. Some of them are debatable and others are not. The fol- 
lowing is their order of precedence: 

First. — To fix the time to which the meeting shall adjourn — 
not debatable. 

Second. — To adjourn — not debatable. 

Third. — Relating to the rights and privileges of the assembly, 
or any member of it— debatable. 

Fourth. — Call for the order of the day — not debatable. 

3. Any of these may be reconsidered after a vote. 

QUORUM. 

1. A quorum is a specified number of members of any deliber- 
ative body required to be present before a session can be held. 

2. This number is fixed in different bodies in various countries, 
but, if not otherwise agreed upon, a majority is sufficient to organize. 

3. Unless a quorum is present when the meeting proceeds to 
business, its proceedings are not usually deemed legal or authori • 
tative. 

4. A wise chairman will refuse to preside unless a quorum is 
present. Should he take the chair, til he can do is to order the roll 
called and declare the meeting adjourned if a quorum does not re- 
spond. The fact that the necessary number of members to consti- 
tute a quorum in a legislative body are in the room does not form a 
quorum, unless they answer to their names when the roll is called. 

5. While the chair may allow, if no quorum is present, the dis- 
cussion of the business first in order, in preference to adjourning, 
no vote, except to adjourn, can be taken. 

6. If there is a quorum present when the session begins, and 
the members gradually absent themselves until less than a quorum 
remains, unless some one objects a debate can proceed, but no 
questions can be decided. 

RIGHT TO THE FLOOR. 

1. A member desiring to speak upon some pertinent subject, 
to present a petition or other document to the assembly, or to cor- 
rect a statement, must rise in his place, uncovered, and call out 
"Mr. President," "Mr. Chairman," or whatever title the presiding 
officer bears. Two or three members may do this at the same mo- 
ment, and it is the duty of the presiding officer to announce the 
name of the first whose voice he heard. This is the signal for the 
others to sit quietly down until another opportunity occurs. The 



member whose name has been pronounced has the floor for me time 
being. 

2- If the decision of the chair is not satisfactory to a majority 
of the members, one of them rises to a point of order, staUs the fact, 
and, on motion, the matter is carried by a vote as to whom the floor 
belongs. 

3. The mover of a measure which has been seconded, and is 
fairly before the meeting for debate, is customarily allowed to make 
the first speech upon it. 

4. If any member having the floor yields it, in courtesy, to 
ano:her, it is a disputed question whether the first can again claim it 
after the second has finished his remarks. The first is generally con- 
ceded the floor again, but strict parliamentary discipline does not 
favor it. 

RECONSIDERATION OF A VOTE. 

1. A vote to adjourn cannot be reconsidered. 

2. A vote to reconsider a past vote brings the original measure 
or motion again before the assembly. 

3. The vote to reconsider may be argued with the original mo- 
tion, but cannot be amended, nor can it, after the ballot, be recon- 
sidered again. 

4. A majority in favor of reconsidering a past vote opens the 
main question to general discussion. 

RECOMMITTAL. 

1. A motion to recommit a measure to a committee may be 
debated, amended, or reconsidered. 

2. Opens the main question to debate. 

SUSPENSION OF RULES OF ORDER. 

1. A motion to suspend the rules cannot be debated or amended, 
under special rules may require a two-thirds vote to adopt it, and 
the vote, either for or against the motion, cannot be reconsidered. 

2. If the motion to suspend the rules is defeated, it cannot be 
renewed for the same purpose until after one adjournment has been 
made. 

3. The motion to suspend the rules must state its object — 
usually some business which the rules do not allow members to act 
upon at certain stages of legislation. 

4. If any member infringes a rule of order it is the right of any 
other member to take notice thereof and to insist that the rule be en- 
forced. In that case the rule should be enforced by the chairman 
without delay. When a member has called another to order it is 
then too late to suspend, to alter, or repeal the rule. It must be en- 
forced. 

SUBSTITUTE. 

1. Is classed as an amendment, and is governed by the same gen- 
eral rules of order. 

2. Cannot be received while an amendment to an amendment is 
pending. 

3. May be directly opposite in spirit to original motion, of 
which, until disposed of, it takes the place in discussion. 

4. Must be seconded and stated by the chairman before being 
voted upon. 

5. Debate must be confined to its merits. 

6. It can be amended once, but an amendment to it cannot be 
amended. 

7. By amendment a substitute can be referred to a proper com- 
mittee for deliberation and report. 

8. On motion, the vote upon a substitute can be reconsidered. 

WITHDRAWING A MOTION. 

1. A motion that has been received, seconded and discussed, 
cannot be withdrawn by the mover, without passing the ordeal of a 
vote, unless permission be obtained to do so, by a unanimous vocal 
consent of the assembly. 

2. A motion once withdrawn is dead, so far as any further action 
is concerned. 

3. A motion to withdraw cannot be debated, but may be amend- 
ed, and a vote upon it may be reconsidered.

THE RATIFICATION AND ADOPTION OF THE CONSTITUTION. 



371 



For taking away our charters, abolishing our 
most valuable laws, and altering fundamentally, 
the forms of our government; for suspending 
our own legislatures, and declaring themselves 
invested with power to legislate for us, in all. 
cases whatsoever. 

He has abdicated government here, by declaring 
us out of his protection, and waging war against 
us. 

He has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, 
burnt our towns, and destroyed the lives of our 
people. 

He is at this time, transporting large armies of 
foreign mercenaries, to complete the works of 
death, desolation, and tyranny, already begun 
with circumstances of cruelty and perfidy, 
scarcely paralleled in the most barbarous ages, 
and totally unworthy the head of a civilized 
nation. 

He has constrained our fellow-citizens, taken 
captive on the high seas, to bear arms against 
their country, to become the executioners of their 
friends and brethren, or to fall themselves by 
their hands. 



He has excited domestic insurrections amongst 
us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants 
of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, 
whose known rule of warfare is an undis- 
tinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and 
conditions. In every stage of these oppressions, 
we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble 
terms; our repeated petitions have been answered 
only by repeated injury. A prince, whose charac- 
ter is thus marked by every act which may define 
a tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people. 
Nor have we been wanting in attentions to our 
British brethren. We have warned them, from 
time to time, of attempts, by their legislature, to 
extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. 
"We have reminded them of the circumstances of 
our emigration and settlement here. We have 
appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, 
and we have conjured them, by the ties of our 
common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, 
which would inevitably interrupt our connections 
and correspondence. They too, have been deaf to 
the voice of justice and of consanguinity. We 
must, therefore, acquiesce in the necessity which 



denounces our separation, and hold them, as we 
hold the rest of mankind, enemies in war, in 
peace friends, 

We, therefore, the representatives of the United 
States of America in General Congress as- 
sembled, appealing to the Supreme Judge of the 
world, for the rectitude of our intentions, do, in 
the name, and by the authority, of the good 
people of these colonies, solemnly publish and 
declare, That these united colonies are, and of 
right ought to be, Free and Independent States; 
and that they are absolved from all allegiance to 
the British crown, and that all political connection 
between them and the State of Great Britain is, 
and ought to be, totally dissolved; and that, as 
Free and Independent States, they have full 
power to levy war, conclude peace, contract 
alliances, establish commerce, and to do all other 
acts and things, which independent states may of 
right do. And, for the support of this declara- 
tion, with a firm reliance on the protection of 
Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each 
other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sucred 
honor. 




The Ratification of the Constitution by the Thirteen Original States 



g SjWBwi@ r FTER the signing of the Declaration of Independence, 
the thirteen British colonies were known as the 4 ' Thir- 
teen United States of America. " Beyond the efforts of 
Congress to sustain the conflict between the States 
and the k ' mother country, " and to encourage Washington 
in his design to free the soil from British domination, 
the political changes were unimportant, until England 
dispatched a messenger to New York with offers of peace, 
about the beginning of the year 1782. November 30, 1782, the pre- 
liminaries of peace were signed at Paris, France, and, on September 
3, 1783, the treaty was concluded, the independence of each of the 




several States was acknowledged, and boundary lines established. 
The government of the States was then principally vested in Con- 
gress and their own legislation; but, May 14, 1787, a national 
convention met at Philadelphia. After four months' deliberation, 
the present Constitution of the United States was adopted, and 
submitted to the people of each State for ratification or rejection. 
Their action was tardy in the extreme, for although Delaware, the 
first State to accept it, voted for it December 7, 1787, Rhode Island, 
the last, did not ratify it unt.iT May 27, 1790; but every State voted 
in its favor. Congress ratified it March 4, 1789, at which time it 
became the law of the land. 




THE CONSTITUTION OF THE UNITED STATES. 



THE PEOPLE of the United States, 
in order to form a more perfect union, 
establish justice, insure domestic 
tranquility, provide for the common 
defense, promote the general welfare, 
and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves 
and our posterity, do ordain and establish this 
Constitution for the United States of America. 

ARTICLE I.— Section 1. All legislative 
powers herein granted shall be vested in a 



Congress of the United States, which shall consist 
of a Senate and House of Representatives. 

House of Representatives. 

Sect. II— 1. The House of Representatives 
shall be composed of members chosen every 
second year by the people of the several States, 
and the electors in each State shall have the qual- 
ifications requisite for electors of the most numer- 
ous branch of the State Legislature. 

JS. No person shall be a Representative who shall 
not have attained to the age of twenty-five years, 
and been seven years a citizen of the United 
States, and who shall not, when elected, be an 



inhabitant of that State in which he shall be 
chosen. 

3. Representatives and direct taxes shall be 
apportioned among the several States which may 
be included within this Union, according to their 
respective numbers, which shall be determined by 
adding to the whole number of free persons, 
including those bound to service for a term of 
years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three- 
fifths of all other persons. The actual enumera- 
tion shall be made within three years after the 
first meeting of the Congress of the United States, 
and within every subsequent term of ten years, in 
such manner as they shall by law direct.

A FEW OF THE WELL-KNOWN OFFICERS IN THE CIVIL WAR. 



Evacuation of Charleston, S. C— Febru- 
ary 18, 1865, the city of Charleston was evacuated 
by the Confederates, and occupied by the Union 
General Gilmore. A large amount of valuable 
property was destroyed, including 6,000 bales of 
cotton. Ammunition stored in the railroad depot 
exploded, and many lives were lost. General 
Gilmore displayed the American flag 1 over the 
ruins of Fort Sumter. 

Sheridan's March Through the Shen- 
andoah Valley, Va.— General Sheridan, with 
a strong Union force, left Winchester, Va. , Febru- 
ary 24,1865. This expedition was principally dis- 
tinguished by 

Sheridan's Capture of Early's Army. 

—March 2, 1865, near Waynesboro, Va. , Sheridan's 
Union force encountered the Confederates under 
Early. The latter fired one volley, when General 
Custer's division advanced upon them. The Con- 
federate line suddenly broke, and Custer's force 
surrounded them, capturing 87 Confederate offi- 
cers, 1,165 enlisted men, 13 flags, 5 cannon, more 
than 100 horses and mules and about 100 wagons 
and ambulances. Custer's brigades immediately 
pursued the fleeing Confederates, destroying the 
depot at Greenwood station, with their artillery 
and other captured war material. Next day the 
prisoners were sent to Winchester. An attempt 
to rescue them by the Confederate General Rosser 
only succeeded in his being beaten off, with the 
loss of 27 more prisoners. March 26, 1864, Sheri- 
dan arrived at City Point, Va., having made a 
most successful raid. His total losses were 2 offi- 
cers and about 50 men in killed, wounded and 
prisoners. 

Battle of Axerysboro, N. C— Fought 
March 16, 1865, between four divisions of 
Sherman's Union army, under General Slocum, 
and about 20,000 Confederates under Hardee. 
After a severe action the latter retreated, leaving 
108 of his dead on the field. The Union loss was 
77 killed, 477 wounded and no prisoners. 

Battles near Ren ton v ill e, X. C— Fought 
March 18-21, 1865, between General Sherman's 
Union army and Johnston's Confederate army. 



The latter were defeated, with heavv losses, 
including 267 killed and 1,625 prisoners. The 
Union loss in killed, wounded and missing, was 
1,643. Sherman now had possession of Goldsboro, 
N. C, and concentrated his army there. 

Skirmish on the Quaker Road, Va.— 
Fought March 29, 1865, between one division of 
Meade's Union 5th corps, with 3 batteries, and a 
detachment of Lee's Confederate army. After a 
short and sharp conflict, the Confederates with- 
drew to their original position, they having made 
the attack. .The Union loss was 459 killed, 
wounded and missing. That night, under a heavy 
Confederate cannonade, the Union 9th corps lost 
51 men. 

Skirmish on the Boydton Road, Va.— 

Fought March 30, 1865, between Merritt's corps of 
Meade's Union army and Confederate infantrv 
and cavalry. Another smart skirmish occurred 
between detachments of the same armies on the 
same day, and the total Union losses were some- 
thing less than 200 men. 

A. Federal Repulse— Proceeding along the 
Boydton (Va. ) road toward Five Forks, March 31, 
1865, Meade's Union advance and Sheridan's Union 
cavalry encountered a strong force of Confeder- 
ates, who stubbornly resisted the Federal advance 
and brought on a conflict, which resulted in the 
repulse of the Unionists, with a loss of from 2,500 
to 3,000 men. Between 300 and 400 Confederate 
prisoners were captured. Subsequently, under 
the fire of the Union batteries, the Confederates 
withdrew. 

Battle of Five Forks, Va.— Fought April 
1, 1865, between a part of Lee's Confederate 
army and three divisions of Union infantry and 
four of Union cavalry, commanded by Sheridan, 
while Meade's army threatened the Confederate 
line from Dinwiddie to Petersburg. After a pre- 
liminary contest, Sheridan broke through the 
Confederate lines, inclosing the Five Forks fortifi 
cation and its Confederate garrison and capturing 
it. The battle for two hours was one of the most 
terrific of the war, and resulted in the 
utter defeat of the Confederates. They lost 
nearly 3,000 killed and wounded and 5,000 



prisoners. The Union loss was about 1.000 men, 
including General Winthrop, who was killed. 

Evacuation of Petersburg, Va.— Satur- 
day night and Sunday morning, April l and 2. 
1865, Grant's Union army, under Meade and 
Sheridan, invested Petersburg with such vigor 
that on the afternoon of the second day Lee 
evacuated the place, his communications with 
Richmond being severed. The losses were very 
heavy on both sides. 

Evacuation of Richmond, Va.— Peters- 
burg having been lost, President Davis, of the 

Southern Confederacy, retired from its capital. 
on Sunday, April 2. 1865, and on the following 
morning General Weitzel with his force entered 
Richmond, capturing about 500 cannon, 5,000 
stand of arms, and 6.000 prisoners. Thirty 
locomotives and 300 cars were abandoned by 
the Confederates. The Confederate fleet was 
destroyed, and as the rear-guard of Lee's army 
moved out of the city they fired it, burning con- 
siderable property and stores. 

Surrender of General Lee— Lee's army 
was followed by Grant's Union forces after the 
evacuation of Richmond, and on the 9th of April, 
1865, Lee surrendered to General Grant, at 
Appomatox Court House, Virginia, and his officers 
and men were paroled as prisoners of war. They 
numbered over 2<\000. Lee's losses in killed and 
wounded, from March 25 to April 3, 1865, were 
something more than 10,000. There were released 
350 wagons, 10.000 small arms, and 30 great guns. 

Capture of Southern Cities — April 12, 
1865, Mobile was captured by the Union army 
under General Canby, who captured 1,000 Con- 
federate prisoners, 150 cannon, and 3,000 bales of 
cotton. On the same day the Unionists captured 
Salisbury, N. C. , and Columbus, Ga. On the 
following day they captured Raleigh, N. C. , 
taking Governor Vance prisoner. 

The End of the War— General Johnston, 
of the Confederate army, surrendered to the 
Unionists, April 26, 1865, at Durham's station, 
near Greensboro, N. C. This closed the war of 
the Rebellion,

DUTIES AND POWERS OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. 



375 




PRESIDENT must be thirty-five years old, 
a native of the United States, and a resident of 
the United States fourteen years. 

He holds office for four years, and swears to 
preserve, protect and defend the Constitution 
of the United States, to the best of his ability. 

He is commander-in-chief of the army and navy 
of the United States, and of the •militia of the several 
States, when it is called into actual service of the 
nation; and may require the opinion, in writing, of 
the principal officer in each of the executive depart- 
ments upon any subject relating to the duties of their respective offices. 
He has power to grant pardons for offenses against the United 
States, except in cases of impeachment; has power, by and with 
the advice and consent of the United States Senate, to make treaties 
(provided that two-thirds of the Senators present concur) ; and shall 
nominate and, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, 
appoint embassadors, ministers, and consuls to foreign countries, 
judges of the Supreme Court of the United States, and all other 
officers of the United States, whose appointments are not otherwise 
provided for in other ways or established by law. If vacancies 
occur during the recess of the Senate, the President may grant com- 
missions to new appointees which shall expire at the end of the next 
session of the Senate. 

From t : -ne to time he is to give Congress information of the state 
of the Union, and recommend such legislation as shall to him seem 
necessary and expedient; on extraordinary occasions, or in a 
national emergency, he may call either house of Congress, or both, 
as he pleases, to convene, and if they disagree as to the time when 
they shall adjourn, he may adjourn them, as he may deem best. 

He shall sign all bills passed by Congress before they can 
become law; but he may return to the house where it originated, 
any bill, order, or resolution, with his objections, which he cannot 
approve. If he fails to sign it, or return it to Congress within ten 
days after its passage, it becomes a law without his approval.

How to Secure a Home on Government Land. 




) HE Government of the United 
States owns and controls the 
public lands, not previously 
disposed of, where the Indian 
title has been extinguished 
by purchase or otherwise. 

The public lands are open 
to pre-emption by citizens of 
the United States, except in 
the following: cases: Lands 
reserved by any treaty, law or Presidential 
proclamation, for any purpose; lands lying within 
the limits of any incorporated city or town; 
lands actually settled or used for business pur- 
poses, and not for farming, and lands on which 
salt-springs or mines are situated. 

Who May Pre-empt Land. 

Every head of a family, or widow, or single 
person, more than twenty-one years old, being a 
citizen of the United States, or having filed his 
written intention to become such, or who may, 
himself or herself, actually settle on land subject 
to pre-emption, inhabiting, building a residence 
thereon, and improving the land, may enter at 
the proper land-office any quantity of such land, 
not exceeding 160 acres, upon which he or she 
may reside, by paying to the government the sum 
of $1.25 per acre, as a minimum price. 

Who May Not Pre-empt Land. 

No person who owns 320 acres of land in any 
State or Territory, or who abandons his or her 
own land to settle on public lands in the same 
State or Territory, has a right to pre-emption. 

No person is entitled to more than one pre- 
emption, and cannot secure a second tract of 
public land by this means. 

Where the Land-Offices are Located. 

Most of the public lands subject to pre-emption 
lie west of the Mississippi river. Land-offices, 
where all necessary information relative to the 
settlement and entry of these lands may be 
obtained, are located in the several States and 
Territories, as follows: 

Alabama- Huntsville and Montgomery. 

Arkansas— Little Rock, Camden, Harrison 



and Dardanelle

California— San Francisco, Marysville, Hum- 
boldt, Stockton, Visalia, Sacramento, Los Angeles,

City, Pueblo, Del Norte, Lake City, Gunnison, 
and Durango.

"Wisconsin— Menasha, Falls of St. Croix, Eau 
Claire, Wausau, La Crosse and Bayfield. 

"Wyoming Ter.— Cheyenne and Evanston. 

The Pre-emptor's Oath. 

Previous to making a pre-emption, every citizen 
must make oath before the land register or 
receiver in the district where the desired tract is 
located, or before the clerk of the county or other 
court of record, that he hasneveravailed himself, 
on a former occasion, of his privilege to pre-empt 
public land ; that he does not own 320 acres of 
land in any State or Territory ; that he has not 
settled upon and improved such land to sell it on 
speculation, but for his own exclusive use ; that 
he has not, in any way, contracted or agreed with 
any other person that the title of the said land, 
in whole or part, shall be for the benefit of any 
one except himself. 

The certifiate of this oath is filed in the land 
office of each district, and a copy of it is also sent 
to the General-Land Office for preservation. 



When Ownership is Actually Acquired. 

The certificate of the register of the land-office, 
however, does not issue to the applicant for five 
years, at the end of which time, or two years 
later, he, or his widow, or his heirs, must prove 
by competent witnesses that he, she, or they

Penalty for False Swearing. 

Any person taking this oath and swearing 
falsely forfeits the money he has paid for the 
specified land and all his right and title to the 
land itself, and if he has previously bargained to 
transfer his pre-emptive title to any other person, 
that conveyance is null and void. 

Preliminary Steps. 

Before any person can enter land as above 
described, he must give satisfactory proof to the 
register and receiver of the laud-office that he 
has properly settled upon and improved the land 
that he desires to pre-empt. 

Within th;'rty days after first settling upon said 
land, the pre-emptor must file with the register of 
the proper land-office a written declaration of his 
intention to enter such tract of land under the 
pre-emption laws. Failing to make this statement 
within the prescribed time, or in furnishing the 
necessary proof of settlement and improvement 
of such land, or make the required payment, 
within one year after settling upon it, any other 
person may enter the same tract. 

When two or more persons settle on the same 
tract of land, the right of pre-emption is in the 
one who made the first settlement. 

The head of any family, or single person, 
twenty-one years old, being a citizen of the United 
States, is entitled to enter one quarter-section 
(160 acres), or less, butnomore, of public lands not 
otherwise disposed of, after having filed a pre- 
emption claim, (if such land is subject to pre- 
emption), at Si. 25 per acre, or eighty acres or 
less, in one tract, at $2.25 per acre. 

Those possessing land may enter adjoining pub- 
lic land, if the tracts do not exceed 160 acres. 

Upon applying to the register of the proper land 
office, he must swear that he is the head of a 
family, or twenty-one years old, or has served in 
the army or navy of the United States, as the case 
may be, and that he is securing the desired tract 
for his own use, for actual settlement and culti- 
vation; taking this oath, and paying to the regis- 
ter of the land-office the sum of five dollars, where 
the land does not exceed eighty acres, and ten 
dollars for a larger amount.

HOW FOREIGNERS ARE NATURALIZED AND BECOME CITIZENS. 



) ERSONS born in foreign nations and 
coming: to the United States to reside, 
are required to submit to certain 
forms of law before they can become 
citizens of any State or Territory, as 
follows: 
Going before either a district or 
circuit court of the United States, or a district or 
supreme court of any Territory, or any court of 
record having; jurisdiction in such cases, he must 
declare on oath that he intends to become a citi- 
zen of the United States, and to renounce forever 
his allegiance to any foreign sovereign or State, 
especially naming the kingdom or empire of 
which he was formerly a subject. 

Two years, or more, after thus declaring his 
intention to become a citizen, he applies to the 
court for admission to all the rights and privileges 
of a citizen of the United States. At this time ho 



must clearly state, under oath, that he will sup- 
port the Constitution of the United States and 
again renounce all allegiance to any foreign 
sovereign or government, especially the one 
under whom he formerly lived. He must also 
show, to the satisfaction of the court, that he has 
resided within the United States five years, and 
within the State or Territory in which the court is 
then held for a certain period; that he has during 
that time behaved as a man of good moral 
character, attached to the principles of the 
Federal Constitution: that he is well disposed to 
the good order and happiness of the United States, 
and that he expressly renounces and abandons 
any hereditary title of nobility or association 
with any of the orders of nobility which he 
possessed in his native or adopted foreign country, 
and this renunciation is recorded in the court. 
Witnesses are necessary to prove the fact of his 



having resided in the country the requisite time 
before applying for citizenship, his own oath«iot 
being sufficient. 

Any person who immigrates into the United 
States from a foreign country three years 
before coming of age, and maintains his resi- 
dence here until twenty-one years old and two 
years longer, may, at the expiration of the whole 
five years, be admitted to all the rights and 
privileges of a citizen without making the 
preliminary declaration of his intention to 
become such; but he must then make oath that 
for two years past such has been his intention, 
and fully comply with all the other requirements 
of the naturalization laws. 

The provisions of this law apply equally to 
white persons of foreign birth, of African nativ- 
ity or African descent. 




When Native-Born Citizens and Foreigners May Vote. 



HE CONDITIONS under which a person born in the United States 
or Territories may vote at general State elections are: That the 
person shall be a male, twenty-one years of age, and have 
resided in the State where he votes a definite period of time. 
Certain States require educational and property qualifications. 

After arriving in the United States, a foreigner may go before a competent 
court and make oath that he desires to become a citizen of the United 
States. The paper given him by the court is a certificate that he has 
' ' declared his intention " to become a citizen. 

Five years afterwards he may go again before a proper court and take out 
papers of naturalization. The foreigner is then naturalized, and is a citizen 
of the United States, entitled to vote the same as a native-born citizen. 

Each State has its own law as to the time a foreigner shall have lived in 



the United States before he can vote in that State. Thus in Illinois the 
law requires that the voter must be a citizen. This makes it necessary that 
the foreigner must have taken out his naturalization papers, and have 
been a resident in the United States for five years preceding the time when 
he can vote. This is the law in several States. * 

Other States require only that the foreigner, in order to be allowed to vote, 
shall have declared his intention to becoine a citizen. He then has the same 
privilege as the native-born, concerning the length of time he shall remain 
in the State where voting. Different States, it will be seen, have different 
laws as to the time the voter shall be a resident of the State. 

In most of the States voters are required to be registered before election. 

The length of time that those persons entitled to vote must remain in the 
State, county, or election precinct before voting, is shown in the following 
list of States.

HOW LAWS ARE MADE BY CONGRESSMEN. 



407 



During the absence of this committee but little 
business is done, beyond discussions upon the 
eligibility of certain members, or the election of 
the following officers of the House of Repre- 
sentatives: A Clerk, a Sergeant-at-Arms, a Door- 
keeper, Postmaster and Chaplain, in the order 
named. Members nominate candidates for each 
office as their own names are called, if they 
choose; the Speaker appoints tellers, and the 
voting is done by voice. 

The vote having been announced, the successful 
candidate is declared elected by the Speaker. He 
then comes forward and qualifies for his new 
position by taking the Constitutional oath of 
fidelity. Sometimes the election of Chaplain is 
postponed, in order to find a candidate who is 
entirely satisfactory to the majority. 

Somebody then proposes a regular hour for the 
daily meeting of the House, and the hour of 
twelve, noon, is usually adopted. 

The drawing of 
seats for the members 
of the House is 
usually next in order, 
either by themselves 
or their colleagues. 

This is also consid- 
ered a good time to 
lay before the House 
the papers in the 
various contested 
election cases of 
members of the 
House, to be referred 
to the Committee on 
Elections when that 
committee has been 
appointed by the 
Speaker, within a few 
days after the organi- 
zation. 

The Joint Com- 
mittee of the two 
Houses of Congress, 
appointed to an- 
nounce to the Presi- 
dent the readiness of 
Congress to receive 
any communication 
from him, having ful- 
filled their duty, 
return to their respec- 
tive houses and report 
what they have done, 
and are then dis- 
charged from further 
duty in the case. 

The President's an- 
nual or inaugural 

message is, about this time, delivered to both 
houses, -in joint session in the House of Repre- 
sentatives, being usually read by the Clerk of 
the House and his assistants. After it has been 
read, the Senate retires to its own chamber and 
both houses proceed to refer certain portions of 
the message to appropriate committees for con- 
sideration and future action. 

A resolution is usually adopted in the House of 
Representatives, authorizing the printing of 
several thousand copies of the message for the 
use of members and others. 

By this time the first day's session has drawn to 
a close. A motion to adjourn is therefore made, 
seconded and adopted, and the House dissolves 
until the next hour of meeting. 

In the Senate Chamber. 

In the Senate, on the first day of the new session, 
the proceedings are usually marked by less 



feeling and confusion, but the organization is 
similarly effected. The Vice-President of the 
United States is inducted into the chair of the 
Senate; the new Senators are sworn in, or have 
their credentials referred to the Committee on 
Elections, and but little other business is, gener- 
ally, transacted. 

The New Member. 

Among the members of the House of Repre- 
sentatives whose credentials were found to be all 
right, and whose eligibility and claim to a seat in 
Congress are therefore undisputed, is Mr. 
Sempronius Smith, from the Tenth District of 
Wisconsin. Mr. Smith has been a prosperous 
merchant, and mill-owner, a wide-awake and 
useful citizen, and his popularity resulted in his 
being sent to Congress to represent the interests 
of a large and thrifty constituency. For a few 
days after the organization, he wisely refrains 
from making himself conspicuous in the councils

Interior of House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. 




HIS ILLUSTRATION represents the members 

of the House of Representatives in session 

during the meeting of Congress. The full 

number entitled to vote, from 18RS to 1RM 

is 325. The speaker of the house occupies the upper 

seat; at one end of his desk, sits the door-keeper, at 

the other end the sergeant-at-arms; at the desk 

in front are the clerks, and at the lower desk, are the 



of the nation. He is "learning the ropes." He 
confers with his colleagues and a few new 
acquaintances in the House upon national topics. 
Naturally he is shrewd and honest, and he comes 
to Congress fully decided to do his duty. 

A Local Bill for Personal Gain. 

That more or less of personal selfishness should 
sometimes reveal itself in Congressional legisla- 
tion is a natural consequence. In order to show 
the routine work of introducing a bill, the nature 
of the lobby, the means which may influence the 
passage of a law in Congress, where personal 
benefits are conferred, the following illustration 
is given. This class of bill is presented as illus- 
trative of the work of the lobby and the means 
sometimes used to influence legislation in securing 
appropriations for personal profit. 

Mr. Smith does not believe that any man ever 



goes to Congress without at least one selfish 
motive— one "axe to grind." Pott, his prede- 
cessor, had half a dozen axes to grind, and came 
very near ruining a good portion of his constitu- 
ency by advocating his selfish measures. Smith 
confesses (to himself only, however,) that he has 
one motive of a personal nature in coming to 
Congress. The city in which he lives— Smithtown 
(named after his uncle, its first settler)— is located 
on the west bank of the Nippewisset river, near 
its headwaters. Fifteen miles below, on the east 
bank, is Poppleton, another thriving city, in 
which Smith and his relatives own large real 
estate and commercial interests. The Grand 
Trunk Through-route Railroad runs around 
Smithtown to the north, and completely ignores 
it, while passing trains from Iowa to Milwaukee. 
On the other hand, the Great Occidental Railroad, 
running from Chicago to a junction with the 
Northern Pacific, has a station at Poppleton. and 
receives and delivers freight and passengers, 
ooqo^. regularly. Smith's 
idea is to connect 
Smithtown and Pop- 
pleton by steamers 
running on the Nippe- 
wisset river as a 
means of benefiting 
both towns. But the 
Nippewisset can 
hardly be called a 
navigable stream, for 
although it is forty 
rods wide and seventy 
miles long, and 
empties into the Mis- 
sissippi, it is full of 
shallow water be- 
tween Smithtown and 
Poppleton, and in the 
summer time an 
empty pontoon could 
hardly be floated 
between the two 
points. Smith has 
formed an idea to 
remedy this evil, and 
it is taking shape in 
his brain. In his seat 
i n Con gress and in 
his private lodgings 
he is engaged in put- 
ting it upon paper. 

INTRODUCTION OF THE 
BILL. 

One day, when the 
introduction of bills 
is in order, he rises 
in his seat in the 
House, and, catching 
the Speaker's eye, he says: 

"Mr. Speaker— I hold in my hand a bill entitled: 
' An Act to build a dam across the Nippewisset 
river at a point three miles below the town of 
Poppleton, Lomax county, "Wisconsin, and 
appropriating 815,000 for that purpose.' This 
bill, sir, is in the interest of a large and populous 
section of my district, and is offered for the 
purpose of facilitating trade and commerce 
between the great Northwest and the metropolitan 
city of Chicago and the Atlantic sea-board. I 
desire, sir, to have it read and referred to the 
Committee on Appropriations. " Smith "fairly 
ached " to make a speech on his bill, but he 
wisely refrained until it should regularly come 
before the House. He sent it to the Speaker by a 
page. Smith's colleague (Benson) requested that 
it be read before being referred, as it was short. 
He thought that an internal improvement bill 
of this sort had sufficient public interest to 
demand this consideration. 

The fact is that Benson only preferred his 
request to satisfy his own curiosity. He had no 
special interests in Smith's district, and if the 
bill did no injury to the State, it might pass 
and welcome.

newspaper correspondents have their seats; the re- 
mainder of the gallery, which will hold about 1,000 
persons, being allotted to spectators. 

The members occupy the seats in the body of the 
house, the individuals standing on the fioor being 
pages, who serve the members when they desire to 
communicate with the clerks or with each other.

THE JUDGES OF THE UNITED STATES SUPREME COURT.

The United States Supreme Court. 



^9HE CONSTITUTION declares that the 

judicial power of the United States 
is vested in one Supreme Court and in 
such inferior courts as Congress may, 
from time to time, ordain and 
establish. The judges, both of the 
Supreme and inferior courts, hold their 
offices during good behavior, and receive for 
their services compensation that may not be 
diminished during their continuance in office. 
This judicial power 
extends to all cases 
in law and equity 
arising under the 
Constitution, the 
laws of the United 
States, and all 
treaties with for- 
eign countries 
made under their 
authority. 

The Supreme 
Court of theUnited 
States consists of a 
Chief Justice and 
eight associate jus- 
tices, appointed by 
the President, any 
six of whom con- 
stitute a quorum. 
The associate jus- 
tices have preced- 
ence according to 
the dates of their 
commissions, or, 
when the commis- 
sions of two or 
more of them bear 
the same date, 
according to their 
ages. Should a 
vacancy occur in 
the office of Chief 
Justice, or he be- 
come unable to 
perform the labors 
and exercise the 
powers of his 
office, his duties 

devolve upon the associate justice who is first in 
precedence, until such disability is removed or 
another associate justice is appointed and 
qualified. This provision applies to every asso- 
ciate justice who succeeds to the office of Chief 
Justice. 

The Supreme Court has power to appoint a 
oierk, a marshal, and a reporter of its decisions. 



The clerk is under the same obligations, the 
same restrictions, the same oath or affirmation of 
office, and the same bond, as is the clerk of a 
United States district court. 

One or more deputy clerks may be appointed by 
the court on the application of the clerk, and 
may be removed at the pleasure of the court; 
and their duties and responsibilities are similar to 
those of deputy clerks in a United States district 
court. 




The Judges of the United States Supreme Court. 

J03. P. Bradley, Stephen J. Field, Sam. P. Miller, Nathan Clifford, M. R. Waite. N. A. Swayne, David Davis, W. Strong, Ward Hunt. 



THE above illustration, from a photograph by 
S. M. Fassett, of Washington, represents 
the Judges of the Supreme bench, as they 
appeared in 1876. The picture is valuable as 



showing the dress worn and the position assumed 
by the judges when together in session, the Chief 
Justice being in the center, and the eight Asso- 
ciate Justices sitting four upon each side. 



The marshal of the Supreme Court is required 
to attend the court at its sessions ; to serve and 
execute all processes and orders issuing from it, 
or made by the Chief or associate justices, in 
pursuance of law, and to take charge of all 
property of the United States used by the court 
or its members; and with the approval of the 
Chief Justice he may appoint assistants and 



messengers to attend the court, with the same 
compensation allowed to similar officers in the 
lower house of Congress. 

The reporter of the Supreme Court is required 
to see that its decisions, made during his term of 
office, are printed and published within eight 
months after they are made, and in any subse- 
quent year he must print and publish another 
volume of the same sort. He also delivers a 
specified number of copies of such printed decis- 
ions to the Secre- 
tary of the In- 
terior. At the 
completion of his 
first volume of 
reports he is 
entitled to receive 
82,500, and for 
every subsequent 
volume prepared 
and published by 
him, $1,500; but 
all his work must 
be done within the 
legally- prescribed 
time and manner. 
The law also pro- 
vides for the 
proper distribu- 
tion of these de- 
cisions to officers 
of the United 
States Govern- 
ment, and the price 
at which other 
persons may buy 
them. Thus are 
preserved, from 
year to year, most 
valuable additions 
to our national 
legal lore, which, 
sub st an t ial ly 
bound in volumes, 
are gradually en- 
larging the law 
libraries of the 
land. 
The Supreme 
Court holds one session annually, beginning on 
the second Monday in October, and such adjourned 
or special terms as it may deem necessary for the 
dispatch of its business. 

The Supreme Court has exclusive jurisdiction of 
all controversies of a civil nature where a State 
is a party, except between a State and its citizens, 
or between a State and citizens of other States, or

FIRST LEGAL STEPS IN COLLECTING THE DEBT. 



281 



If the loan is secured by mortgage on real estate, which is much the 
safest, an Abstract of Title should be required of the borrower, signed 
by the county clerk or other responsible person, showing that the prop- 
erty mortgaged is entirely free from encumbrance. Or, if there be 
encumbrance already upon the same, ascertain what its amount may be. 
See also that your mortgage, taken as security, is recorded immediately. 

We have thus enumerated some of the means with which loss by 
credit may be avoided; but should credits be given, and the par- 
ties owing neglect or refuse to pay, the following suggestions, it is 
hoped, may aid in the collection of the debt. 

Preliminary Proceedings. 

Of course the first steps to be taken in the collection of a debt will 
depend upon circumstances. The party owing may have met with a 
sudden reverse of fortune — maybe willing, but unable, without great 
sacrifice, to pay at present; and thus a variety of circumstances will 
tend to determine the action to be pursued in the commencement — 
whether it be sharp, positive and energetic, or mild and lenient. 

We will suppose, however, that the debtor neglects or refuses to pay 
a just debt. It becomes necessary, therefore, to proceed to its collection 
by the various discreet and legal steps at command. These are : 

First, To write a letter calling attention to the account unpaid, stat- 
ing the time when the obligation was due, and accompanying the same 
with a bill of goods bought, when, etc. 

Second, Another letter, a little more pointed than the first, urging 
the necessity of immediate settlement. 

Third, To sue for the same before a competent legal officer. 

First Efforts at Collection. 

.The necessary forms will be very similar to the following: 

DUNNING LETTER NO. I. 

Mr. A. B. Cushman, Elyria, O., Feb. 10, 1877. 

Oberlin, O. 
Dear Sir : Please find enclosed a statement of your account to Jan- 
uary first, at which time we had hoped to have settled with all our cus- 
tomers. Early attention to this will greatly oblige, 

Yours Respectfully, 

BROWN, MEYER & CO. 

DUNNING LETTER NO. 2. 

Mr. A. B. Cushman, Elyria, O., Feb. 20, 1877. 

Oberlin, O. 
Dear Sir : We are compelled to place some of our accounts in the 
hands of collectors for settlement; but our relations with you have 
always been so pleasant, we wish to avoid doing so in your case. As 
all uncollected bills go into the hands of the collector next Monday, 
you will please call upon us before then, and oblige, 

Yours Respectfully, 

BROWN, MEYER & CO. 

Borrowed Money. 

In case the indebtedness is for borrowed money, possibly a small 
amount, for which no promissory note was given, the easiest method, 
probably, of disposing of the matter, when it is discovered that the 
individual does not'-intend to pay, is to erase the transaction from the 
memorandum and forget the affair entirely, if possible; considering 
yourself fortunate in discovering, before loaning a larger amount, 
that the borrower was a dead beat. It may be best that you continue 
on friendly terms, and you cannot afford to break pleasant relations 
lor a small amount of money, though by this neglect the borrower has 
forever forfeited your confidence, unless the matter is satisfactorily 
explained. Should you propose, however, to press collection, a letter 
similar to the following may be written: 

REMINDER NO. I. 

Galesburg, III., Aug. 15, 1877. 
Mr. Webster : 

The ten dollars borrowed by you on the Fourth of July was to have 
been paid, according to agreement, on last Monday. Thinking that, 
possibly, the matter had escaped your recollection, I "take this means of 
reminding you of the fact. 

Respectfully Yours, 

CHAS. B. WEEKS 



No attention being paid to this letter, it may be well enough to write 
one letter more, as follows: 

REMINDER NO. 2. 

Galesburg, III., Aug. 24, 1877. 
Mr. Webster: 

I mailed a note to your address some days since, in relation to money 
borrowed of me on the Fourth. I fear you must have failed to receive 
it, otherwise you surely would have given it your attention. As I put 
all unsettled accounts into the hands of a justice for collection next 
week on Wednesday, I should like to see you before that time. 

Respectfully Yours, 

CHAS. B. WEEKS. 

Legal Proceedings. 

You have exhausted the usual moral means of collecting your due, 
and the debt is not yet paid. It is proposed now to collect it, if possi- 
ble, by legal process. 

In the first place, can it be collected ? Is the debtor worth enough to 
be compelled to pay it, aside from the property which the law exempts ? 
What does the law exempt? {See "Exemptions from Forced Sale," 
elsewhere), which applies to heads of families; also, ^Limitations" 
elsewhere. 

, Being satisfied that the debt is collectible, you now place the account 
in the hands of a Justice of the Peace, unless the amount to be collected 
is so large as to be out of the justice's jurisdiction. The amount which 
can be collected through a justice varies in different States. 

Limit of Jurisdiction with Justice of the Peace. ' 

The following shows the largest amount in the different States and 
Territories which the justice of the peace, through his official position,

First Legal Steps. 

The amount to be collected being within the jurisdiction of the 
justice, he will issue a Summons, which will be taken by a constable 
to the debtor, if he can be found, and read to him, which is termed 
"serving a summons" upon the person owing the debt. 

Form of Summons. 

The wording of this summons will be somewhat as follows : 
STATE OF 



-County, 



j-ss. 



to any Constable of said County — 



The People of the State of - 
Greeting: 
You are hereby commanded to summon A. B. to appear before me 

at on the day of , at o'clock -M., to answer 

the complaint of C. D. for a failure to pay him a certain demand not 

exceeding ; and hereof make due return as the law directs. Given 

under my hand this day of 18 — . 

JOHN DOE, J. P. 

It may be remarked that the law varies in different States as to where 
a debtor may be sued. In some States he cannot be sued out of the town 
where he resides. In others more latitude is given, the facts concerning 
which the justice will explain, upon application, as to his own State. 

Upon the issuance of a summons, the constable will proceed to 
serve the same immediately. But if the defendant cannot be found, 
or shall evade the service of process by refusing to listen, or by 
secreting himself, the constable may leave a copy of the summons 
with some member of his family of the age of ten years or upward; 



ABSTRACT OF STATE LAWS RELATING TO EXEMPTION FROM FORCED SALE.

etc., worth §200; mechanics' tools, etc., worth

ries of professional men, and office furniture of

ILLINOIS. — Home worth $1,000, and Per- 
sonal Property.— Lot- of ground and buildings

value of $1,000. Exemption continues after the 
death of the householder for the benefit of widow 
and family, some one of them occupying the 
homestead until the youngest child shall become 
twenty-one years of age, and until death of widow. 
Insurance money received or due upon burned 
buildings of the homestead is also exempt. There 
is no exemption from sale for taxes, assessments, 
debt or liability incurred for the purchase or 
improvement of such homestead. No release or 
. waiver of exemption is valid, unless in writing, 
and subscribed by such householder and wife, if he 
have one, and acknowledged as conveyances of 
real estate are required to be acknowledged. The 
following articles of personal property owned by 
the debtor are exempt from execution, writ of 
attachment, and distress for rent: First— Neces- 
sary wearing-apparel, Bibles, school-books, and 
family pictures of every person. Second— Other 
property worth $100 to be selected by the debtor. 
When the debtor is the head of a family, and 
resides with the same, in addition, other property 
worth $300 may be selected; though such exemp- 
tion shall not be allowed from any money due 
such debtor. A debtor taking the benefit of this 
act shall make a schedule, subscribed and sworn 
to, of all his or her personal property, including 
all moneys on hand and due the debtor; and any 
property owned by the debtor and not included in 
said schedule, shall not be exempt as aforesaid. 
And thereupon the officer having an execution 
against the same, shall summon three household- 
ers who, upon oath, will appraise and fix a fair 
value upon each article in said schedule, and the 
debtor shall then select from such schedule such 
articles as he or she may desire to retain, the 
aggregate value of which shall not exceed the 
amount exempted, to which he or she may be en- 
titled, and deliver the remainder to the officer 
having the writ. The officer having the writ is 
authorized to administer the oath to the debtor 
and appraisers. To head of family the sum of $50 
is exempt from garnishment for wages. 

INDIAXA.-Personai property to the value 
of $600.— There is no specific homestead exemption

1879, a householder may claim, as exempt, real 
estate or personal property to the value of $600. 
Exempt goods may be removed from one part of 
the State to another without molestation. In 
case of debts founded upon contracts made previ- 
ous to May 31, 1879, the exemption is only $300. 
A debtor's property must be scheduled and sworn 
to by the debtor, appraised under direction of the 
law officer. Exemptions do not affect liens for 
labor, purchase-money or taxes. 

IOWA.-Famo/ 40 acres, or House and Lot

family, at any time within ninety days next pre- 
ceding the levy are also exempt from attachment 
and execution. None of the foregoing exemptions 
are for the benefit of a single man not the head of 
a family, nor of non-residents, nor of those who 
have started to leave the State, but their property 
is liable to execution, with the exception of ordin- 
ary wearing-apparel and trunks to contain the 
same; and, in the latter case, of such wearing ap- 
parel and such property as the defendant may

FACTS ABOUT PATENTS. PENSIONS ALLOWED FOR TOTAL DISABILITY. 



Xe-lssue.— Whenever a mistake has been made in the claims or specifi- 
cations of a patent a petition may be made for a re-issue, the petition to be 
accompanied by new drawings and corrected specifications. A new and cor- 
rected patent will thereupon be issued, and the former patent will be can- 
celled. 

Marked '* Patented." — All patented articles must be marked 
" patented " before being sold or used. It is a punishable offense to put the 
word " patented" upon any article for which a patent has not been issued. 
The penalty is a fine of not less than 8100, with costs; one-half of the fine, 
when collected, to be paid to the person who prosecutes the guilty party, and 
the other half to the United States. 

Patents in Canada.— The patent must be applied for within one year 
after the patent was allowed in the United States, by an American wishing a 
patent in Canada, else it is refused. Model required, and patent good for 
fifteen years. May import the article ready-made during the first year, but 
within two years must begin to manufacture the article on Canadian soil, or 
else arrange a definite place where the same may be obtained. Fees from 
850 to 3100. 

Selling: Patents.— Of the various methods for disposing of patents, 
there is, first, the selling of the patent entire to others, without reserving 
any rights; second, selling the patent on condition of receiving a royalty on 
each article manufactured where the patent is used; third, selling the right 
to manufacture, receiving a royalt3' for a certain length of time; fourth, 
selling the exclusive right to manufacture in certain territory on a royalty 
or not as may be agreed; fifth, selling the right to use in certain localities, 
or the right to manufacture in certain shops. 

Official Pees.— Sec. 4934. The following shall be the rate for patent 
fees: On filing each original application for a patent, except in design cases 
415. On issuing each original patent, except in design cases, $20. In design 
cases: For three years and six months, $10; for seven years, 815; for four- 
teen years, $30. On filing each caveat, S10. On every application for the 
re-issue of a patent, 830. On filing each disclaimer, $10. On every applica- 
tion for the extension of a patent, 850. On the granting of every extension of 
a patent, 850. On an appeal for the first time from the primary examiners 
to the examiners-in-chief, $10. On every appeal from the examiners-in-chief 
to the commissioner, $20. For certified copies of patents and other papers, 
including certified printed copies, ten cents per hundred words. For record- 
ing every assignment, agreement, power of attorney, or other paper of 
three hundred words or under, 81; of over three hundred and under one 
thousand words, S2; of over one thousand words, $3. For copies of draw- 
ings, the reasonable cost of making them. Sec. 4935. Patent fees may be 
paid to the commissioner of patents, or to the treasurer or any of the assistant 



treasurers of the United States, or to any of the designated depositaries, 
national banks, or receivers of public money, designated by the secretary of 
the treasury for that purpose; and such officer shall give the depositor a 
receipt or certificate of deposit therefor. All money received at the patents 
office, for any purpose, or from any source whatever, shall be paid into the 
treasury as received, without any deduction whatever. Sec. 4936. The 
treasurer of the United States is authorized to pay back any sum or sums 
of money to any person who has through mistake paid the same into the 
treasury, or to any receiver or depositary, to the credit of the treasury, as for 
fees accruing at the patent-office, upon a certificate thereof being made to 
the treasurer by the commissioner of patents. 

Models Required.— While a complete model is required not exceeding 
one foot square for a new invention, in case of an improvement upon a 
machine only a model of such improvement is required. A model may be made 
of wood or metal as best suits the convenience of the inventor, its simple pur- 
pose being to illustrate the working of the improvement or invention. 

Drawings.— Paper must be used stiff enough to be stowed away in the 
portfolios; must be calendered and smooth. India ink, or other article 
giving a clear black mark, must be used. Size of the sheet should be exactly 
10 by 15 inches, and one inch from its edge a single marginal line should be 
drawn, leaving the space for drawing exactly 8 by 13 inches. As much cure is 
to be exercised in producing the drawings and specifications, the inventor 
should avail himself of the experience of some competent person in their 
preparation. 

Caveats give inventors time to test and perfect their discoveries, running 
for one year, and can be extended from year to year. They can only be 
filed by citizens of the United States and foreigners who have resided here 
one year and have declared their intention to become citizens. A caveat Is 
secret, and the caveator can use the stamp "caveat filed." No model 
required for a caveat. The caveat does not secure exclusive right of sale— a 
patent does. A caveat consists of a petition, specification, drawing and affi- 
davit of invention. 

Trade-Marks may be registered, giving person, firm or corporation 
exclusive right to use the same. Trade-marks remain in use for thirty years 
and may be renewed for thirty years more. No one may use the patented 
trade-mark of another on a similar class of goods calculated to deceive, but 
the same mark may be used on another class of goods in another line of 
trade without infringement. Where the word "star" is used by a certain 
maker, to illustrate, on shirts, it would not be lawful to use the figure of a 
star on a competing shirt, as the purpose in this case would be to deceive. 
Neither can a word similar in pronunciation be used as the words "royal" 
and " loyal."

HOW TO PROSPECT AND OBTAIN MINING CLAIMS. 




®*ssfD£ 



jdbSi9 



MINING AND MINERS' FORMS. 




i¥+- 







UfffHE PERSON who proposes to visit a 
mining region with a view to prospecting, 
discovering, and extracting from the earth 
precious metals, should first study the geography 
of the country in which he expects to operate. 

Second, he should read all available matter 
relating to the region and the subject of mining. 

Third, he should, if possible, make the ac- 
quaintance of those who have traveled in that 
portion of the country, and thus avail himself of 
their experience. 

Fourth, he should then proceed to a " School 
of Mines," one or more of which may usually 
be found in the immediate vicinity of all rich 
mining regions, and there spend a few days or 
weeks in receiving instruction from competent 
instructors as to the means by which rich ores 
may be known when found, methods of testing 
ores, processes of reduction, assaying, smelting, 
taking out of ore, and much other useful informa- 
tion which will be of service to the prospector. 

Experience has shown that a company of 



three, each provided with a mule or small horse, 
if this convenience can be afforded, make the 
number best calculated to prospect together, 
especially in the mountainous regions of Amer- 
ica, the advantage of this number being that 
while one cares for baggage, mules, washing, 
cooking, etc., the others are free to engage in 
exploration. 

Having found, outside of property owned by 
anybody else, . evidence of mineral in such quan- 
tity and richness as to make it desirable to locate 
a claim, the miner will proceed to stake off the 
amount of land to which he is entitled by law, 
on each side of the nearest place where he 
intends to sink an opening into the earth in 
search of ore. 

The law of most of the mining regions in the 
Rocky Mountains permits the miner to claim 750 
feet in each direction from the discovery shaft in 
the line that the vein of ore is supposed to run, 
and 150 feet on each side, so that when the claim 
is staked off it will be in shape as follows: 



Prospecting Miner's Claim. 

1,500 FEET LONG. 




1,500 FEET LONG. 



The law of different mining localities is liable to change, however, 
so that it may be necessary for the miner to provide himself with the 
various pocket manuals containing the law of his locality in order to 
know how much land he is actually entitled to claim, as the law fre- 
quently differs in different portions of a State. 

A prospector, holding a discovery claim, is allowed sixty days in 
which to sink his discovery shaft the distance of ten feet. At the 
place where the discovery of a vein has been made, it is customary 
to post a notice in substance as follows : 

Coming-Day Lode. 

The undersigned claim sixty days to sink discovery shaft and three 
months to record on this vein. 



May 6, 1880. 



FRANKLIN ALLEN, 1 
WALTER B. SMITH, \ Discoverers. 
JOHN JOHNSON, ) 



This notice is not a necessity, but simply a warning to other 
prospectors that the vein is to be claimed. The sixty days begin 
when the vein is discovered, and cannot be extended beyond that 
number. 

Having sunk his discovery shaft to a depth of ten feet, the miner 
should, if possible, procure the services of a surveyor, who will 
make a competent and lawful survey. But even without a surveyor 
the claim, if definitely marked off by stakes driven into the ground, 
or supported by a pile of stone around each, will be sufficiently 
well defined to enable a record to be made of the same. 

Having sunk a discovery shaft, and having an accurate description 
by a surveyor or otherwise, the next step is to have a record made of 
the same in the recorder's office of that county as follows: 



Certificate of Mining Location. 

Know All Men by These Presents, That we, Franklin Allen, 
Walter B. Smith and John Johnson, of the county of Clear Creek, 
State of Colorado, claim by right of discovery and location fifteen 
hundred feet linear and horizontal measurement, on the Coming Day 
lode, along the vein thereof, with all its dips, variations and angles; 
together with one hundred and fifty feet in width on each side of the 



THE LAW AND FORMS RELATING TO THE GUARDIANSHIP OF CHILDREN. 



223 




<s^sMi 



(aitesS 



GUARDIANS AND MINOR CHILDREN. 





„ MENTOR is a person under twenty-one years 

% of age, or, in some States, a maiden under 
■-^=- eighteen years old. In England, and in 
many of the United States, sex makes no differ- 
ence. 

The legal term for a minor is "infant." The 
legal consequences of infancy are: First, inability 
to commit crime until of a certain age; secondty, 
inability to consent until a certain age; third, 
inability to make a contract of any kind except 
marriage; and, fourth, inability to sue or be sued, 
except by guardians. 

Infants may own and hold all kinds of property. 

Infants should have guardians of their persons 
and property. 

The parents are the guardians of the person. 
Courts of probate appoint suitable persons for 



guardians of their property. At fourteen the 
infant may select his or her guardian of his or her 
property. 

Infants whose parents are unfit to be guardians, 
or who suffer them to become a public charge, may 
have guardians of their persons appointed by 
some public officer. 

The parties so chosen are called guardians, and 
the infants wards. 

Thus the guardians of the person must supply 
the ward with necessaries and instruction, and 
the guardian of the property must preserve it, 
and cannot expend it or change it from real to 
personal property without the order of the court. 

The laws relating to the rights and duties of 
guardians vary in different States, but in essen- 
tial particulars resemble each other.

Forms of Agreements and Contracts. 




agreement is virtually a 
contract by which indi- 
viduals, singly or collec- 
tively, agree to perform 
certain duties within a 
specified time. 

It is of much impor- 
tance, in all matters 
upon which may arise a 
difference of opinion or misunder- 
standing, that contracts be reduced very 
explicitly to writing, thereby frequently sav- 
ing the parties to the contract a long and 
expensive law-suit. 
Agreements should show that they are made 
for a lawful consideration, else they are void in 
law. 



It is well to have a written agreement signed 
by a witness, though the witness need not know 
the contents of the document. 

While a signature, or mark, written with a 
pencil, if proven by witnesses, is good in law, 
it is always safest to execute the contract with 
pen and ink. 

A discovery of fraud, or misrepresentation by 
one party to the agreement, or changing of the 
date, renders the contract void. 

Every agreement should state most distinctly 
the time within which its conditions are to be 
complied with. 

Copies of an agreement should always be pre- 
pared in duplicate, and each party to the agree- 
ment should retain a copy. 



General Form of Agreement. 



This Agreement, made the first day of August, 18 — , between 
Isaac E. Hill, of Tarkio, county of Atchison, State of Missouri, of the 
first part, and Vardemon Blevins, of Fairfax, Mo. , of the second 
part: 

WITNESSETH, that the said Isaac E. Hill, in consideration of the 
agreement of the party of the second part, hereinafter contained, con- 



tracts and agrees to and with the said Vardemon Blevins, that he will 
deliver, in good and marketable condition, at the village of Corning, 
Mo. , during the month of September, of this year, one hundred tons 
of prairie hay, in the following lots, and on the following specified 
terms; namely, twenty-five tons by the seventh of September, twenty- 
five tons additional by the fourteenth of the month, twenty-five tons

been made, unless they provide for interest from 
date on their face ; they then draw the legal rate 
of interest of the State. 

If "with interest'' is included in the note, it 
draws the legal rate of the State where it is 
given, from the time it is made. 

If the note is to draw a special rate of interest 
higher than the legal, but not higher than the 
law allows, the rate must be specified. 

If the note is made pa} T able to a person or 
order, to a person or bearer, to a person or his 
assigns, or to the cashier of an incorporated 
company or order, such notes are negotiable. 

When transferring the note, the indorser frees 
himself from responsibility, so far as the payment 
is concerned, by writing on the back, above his 
name, " Without recourse to me in any event." * 

When a note is made payable at a definite 
period after date, three days beyond the time 
expressed on the face of the note (called days of 
grace) are allowed to the person who is to pay 
the same, within which to make such payment. 
Notes payable on demand are not entitled to 
days of grace. 

If a note is payable at a bank, and is held 
there on the day upon which it falls due, until 
the usual hour for closing, ready for receiving 
payment thereon, no further demand upon the 
maker is necessary, in order to charge the in- 
dorser. The demand must, in all cases, be made 
upon the last of the days of grace; a demand 



before that time passing for nothing as against 
the indorser. 

The days of grace, which must be computed 
according to the laws of the State where the 
note is payable, are to be reckoned exclusive of 
the day when the note would otherwise become 
due, and without deduction for Sundays or 
holidays; in which latter case, by special enact- 
ments in most of the States, notes are deemed to 
become due upon the secular day next preced- 
ing such days. Thus, a note, due upon the 
twenty-fifth day of December, is payable on the 
twenty-fourth, as the day when due is Christ- 
mas day; if the twenty-fourth chance to be 
Sunday, it is due upon the twenty-third. 

In order to charge an indorser, the note, if 
payable at a particular place, must be presented 
for payment at the place upon the very day it 
becomes due; if no place of payment be named, 
it must be presented, either to the maker per- 
sonally, or at his place of business, during busi- 
ness hours, or at his dwelling house, within rea- 
sonable hours; if payable by a firm, a present- 
ment may be made to either of the partners, or 
at the firm's place of business; if given by sev- 
eral persons jointly, not partners, the demand 
must be made upon all. If the note has been 
lost, mislaid, or destroyed, the holder must still 
make a regular and formal demand, offering the 
party, at the same time, a sufficient indemnity in 
the event of his paying the same 



*The simple indorsment of the name of the person selling: the note, 
which serves as a transfer, upon the back of the same, is not in some 
States a guarantee for the payment of the note at maturity. When it is 
designed particularly to be a guarantee, it should be so slated on the 
back of the note, as follows: 

RICHARD ROE. 

"For value received, I (or we) hereby guarantee the payment oj the 

■within note at maturity, or at any time thereafter, with interest at 

per cent, unlit paid ; and agree to pay all costs or expenses paid or in- 
curred in collecting the same." 

RICHARD ROE. 



To avoid the danger of the signer of the guarantee claiming at a 
future time that said guarantee was written above his name without his 
knowledge, it is best to have his signature written twice, once above the 
guarantee, to serve as a transfer, and once below to serve as the guaran- 
tee, as shown above.

TWO HOMES CONTRASTED. 



175 




THE neglected home, where the 
child grows up without knowledge 
of order or correct system; tools and 
vehicles exposed to all kinds of 
weather, rusting and falling to pieces 
from inattention. 



Never misrepresent. If you falsify the child will learn to deceive 
also. 

Never withhold praise when the child deserves it. Commendation 
is one of the sweetest pleasures of childhood. 

Never waken your children before they have completed their nat- 
ural slumbers in the morning. See that they retire early, and thus 
have the requisite time for sleep. Children require more sleep than 
older persons. The time will come soon enongh when care and 
trouble will compel them to waken in the early morning. Let them 
sleep while they can. 

Do not reproach a child for a mistake which was made with a good 
motive at the time. Freely forgive, wisely counsel, and the child 
will thus be taught that there is no danger in telling the truth. 

Never give your children money indiscriminately to spend for their 
own use. However wealthy you may be teach the child the value 
of money by requiring it to earn it in some manner. Commencing 
young, let the child perform simple duties requiring labor, which the 
parent may reward by pennies and very small sums. Let the child 
thus spend only money of its own earning. The boy who thus early 
learns by labor the value of a dollar knows how to accumulate the 
same in after-life, and how to save it. 

Never demean yourself by getting angry and whipping a child. 
The very fact of your punishing in anger arouses the evil nature of 
the child. Some day the punishment thus inflicted will react upon 
yourself. 

What Parents Should Do. 

Always speak in a pleasant voice. 

Teach your children how to work; how to obtain a living by their 
own efforts. Teach them the nobility and the dignity of labor, that 
they may respect and honor the producer. 

Explain the reason why. The child is a little walking interrogation 
point. To it all is new. Explain the reason. Your boy will some 
day repay this trouble by teaching some other child. 

Teach your children the evil of secret vice, and the consequence of 
using tobacco and spirituous liquors; teach them to be temperate, 
orderly, punctual, prompt, truthful, neat, faithful and honest. 

Encourage your child to be careful of personal appearance; to 
return every tool to its place; to always pay debts promptly; to never 




THE home of neighbor Thrifty, where 
the children learn habits of neat- 
ness, economy and good management; 
there being a place for every implement 
when not in use, and each kept where 
it belongs. 



shirk a duty; to do an equal share, and to always live up to an 
agreement. 

Teach your children to confide in you by conference together. Tell 
them your plans, and sometimes ask their advice; they will thus open 
their hearts to you and will ask your advice. The girl who tells all 
her heart to her mother has a shield and a protection about her which 
can come only with a mother's advice and counsel. 

Give your children your confidence in the affairs of your business. 
They will thus take interest, and become co-workers with you. If 
you enlist their respect then their sympathy and co-operation, they 
will quite likely remain to take up your work when you have done 
and will go ahead perfecting what you have commenced. 

If you are a farmer do not overwork your children, and thus by a 
hard and dreary life drive them off to the cities. Arise at a reason- 
able hour in the morning, take an hour's rest after meals, and quit at 
five or six o'clock in the afternoon. Let the young people, in games 
and other amusements, have a happy time during the remainder of 
the day. There is no reason why a farmer's family should be 
deprived of recreation and amusement any more than others. 

Teach your child the value of the Sabbath as a day for the spiritual 
improvement of the mind; that on the Sabbath morn the ordinary 
work of the week should not be resumed if it is possible to avoid it; 
that the day should be passed in attendance upon religious service of 
some kind or exercises that will ennoble and spiritualize the nature. 
While rest and recreation may be a part of the day's programme, true 
philosophy dictates that the spiritual faculties of the nature should 
be cultivated by setting apart a portion of the time for their 
improvement. 

Teach your chidren those things which they will need when they 
become men and women. As women they should understand how to 
cook, how to make a bed, how to preserve cleanliness and order 
throughout the house, how to ornament their rooms, to renovate and 
preserve furniture and clothing, howtosing, and play various games, 
that they may enliven the household. They should be taught how 
to swim, how to ride, how to drive, how to do business, and how to 
preserve health. The mother should early intrust money to the girl 
with which to buy articles for the household that she may learn its 
value. Think what a man and woman need to know in order to be 
healthy, happy, prosperous and successful, and teach them that.

ITS 



THE SECRETS OK PERSONAL BEAUTY. 



personal appearance. The very sallow complexion may be improved 
by a small amount of color applied; the hair, if naturally dry and stiff, 
may be kept in place by a simple hair preparation, and a white eye- 
brow may be brought into harmonious color with the hair of the head 
by a dye; all this being done so adroitly that the external application 
cannot be detected. But, as a rule, greatest beauty is obtained by 
a strict observance of the laws of health. 

The following preparations, culled from De la Banta's "Advice !o 
Ladies," are recommended for improving the complexion: 

Take a teaspoonful of powdered charcoal (kept by druggists) mixed with 
sweetened water or milk, for three nights successively. This should be fol- 
lowed by a gentle purge afterward, to remove it from the system. Taken 
once in two or three months, this remedy will prove efficacious in making the 
complexion clear and transparent. 

ANOTHER. 

Tincture of balsam of Peru. 2 drachms; tincture of tolu, 2 drachms; tincture 
of benzoin. 2 drachms. Mix with one gill of distilled water, and take of 
melted white wax, 1 ounce; spermaceti, % ounce; sweet almond oil, 8 
drachms, and rose-water, 1 ounce. Mix all the ingredients together, and beat 
thoroughly, applying to the skin with a sponge. 

This may be used with benefit where the skin presents a greasy 
appearance : 

To M pint of rose-water add chlorate of potash. 18 grains; glycerine, 1 
ounce. Mix carefully, and use in a pure state. Apply with a sponge or linen 
cloth. Should it irritate the skin dilute with) more water. These lotions 
should be applied with care, and are best used at night. 

The greasy skin, inclined to pimples, is benefited by the following 
preparation : 

Bicarbonate of soda. 18 grains; essence of Portugal. t> drops; distilled 
water, yi pint. Mix and bathe the face. 

The shiny, polished skin, which is caused by fatty secretions 
beneath it, may have the difficulty removed by this preparation: 

Take 1 quart of camphor water, pure glycerine, 1 ounce, and y, ounce of 
powdered borax. Mix and bathe the face. Let it dry and remain a few 
minutes after applying it, then wash the face thoroughly with soft water. 

If the skin is very pallid it is improved by a bath in lukewarm 
water, followed by brisk rubbing with a coarse towel and exercise in 
the air and sun. The pale skin is improved also by the sunshine. 
The rough skin is made smooth by the application of glycerine at 
night, followed by its removal with water and fine soap in the 
morning. 

The skin may be whitened by the following prescription: 

To one pint of water add 1 wineglass of fresh lemon juice and 10 drops of 
attar of roses. Mix, and keep in a well-corked bottle. Use once a day. 

The sallow and muddy skin is improved by this preparation: 

To one pint of water add 2 drachms of iodide of potassium and 1 ounce of 
glycerine. Mix and apply with a sponge once a day. 

To keep the skin clear, beware of pork, cheese and other substances 
containing much grease. Also avoid alcoholic drinks. Keep the 
bowels loose by fruit and a sufficiency of coarse food. Take exercise 
sufficient, if possible, to produce a gentle perspiration each day; 
bathe daily, and get into the sunshine and open air. 

The Hand. 

Various are the recipes for keeping the hand beautiful. If not 
engaged in hard manual labor, and it is very desirable to make the 
hands present as handsome an appearance as possible, there are a few 
directions necessary to keep them well preserved. Among these is 
perfect cleanliness, which is produced by a thorough washing, using 
an abundance of good toilet soap, and frequently a nail-brush. 

Should the hands be inclined to chap, they will be relieved of the 
difficulty by washing them in glycerine before going to bed. In the 
winter season, to wash them in snow and soap will leave them smooth 
and soft. 

To make the hands very white and delicate, the person is assisted 
by washing them several times for two or three days in milk and 
water, and, upon retiring to rest, bathing in palm oil and encasing 
them in a pair of woolen gloves, cleaning with warm water and soap 
the next morning. They should be thoroughly rubbed to promote 



circulation, and a pair of soft leather gloves should be worn during 
the day. 

Should the hands become sunburned, the tan may be removed by 
using lime-water and lemon-juice. 

Should warts make their appearance, they may be removed by 
paring them on the top and applying a small amount of acetic acid on 
the summit of the wart with li camel's hair brush, care being taken 
that none of the acid gets upon the surrounding skin. To prevent 
this, wax may be placed upon the finger or hand during the operation, 
or an old kid glove may be used, the wart being allowed to protrude 
through. 

The nails should be cut about once a week, directly after a bath, 
and should never be bitten. In rough, hard labor, if it is desired to 
protect the hands, gloves should be worn. 

But however beautiful it may be, the hand should do its full share 
of work. The hand that is beautiful from idleness is to be despised. 

The Feet. 

Much care should be taken to keep the feet in good condition. 
The first important consideration in their management is perfect 
cleanliness. Some people find it necessary to wash the feet morning 
and evening. Many find it indispensably necessary to wash them 
once a day, and no one should fail of washing them at least three 
times a week, and the stockings should be changed as frequently if 
much walking be done. 

Without washing, the feet are liable to become very offensive to 
others in a short time. The feet of some persons will become dis- 
agreeably so sometimes within a week if they are not washed, more 
especially if they perspire freely. 

A foot-bath, using warm water, followed by wiping the feet com- 
pletely dry, and afterward putting on clean stockings, is very invig- 
orating after a long walk, or when the feet are damp and cold. 

To escape chilblains avoid getting the feet wet. Should they 
become damp, change shoes and stockings at once. Wear woolen 
stockings, and do not toast the feet before the fire. The approach of 
the chilblain is frequently prevented by bathing the feet in a strong 
solution of alum. 

With the first indication of chilblains, as revealed by the itching 
sensation, it is well to rub them with warm spirits of rosemary, add- 
ing to the same a little turpentine. Lint, soaked in camphorated 
spirits, opodeldoc, or camphor liniment, may be applied and retained 
when the part is affected. 

It is claimed also that chilblains may be cured by bathing the feet 
in water in which potatoes have been boiled. 

Wear boots and shoes amply large for the feet, but not too large, 
and thus escape corns. A broad heel, half an inch in height, is all 
that comfort will allow to be worn. 

,' The Hair. 

The head should be washed occasionally with soap and water. 
Follow by wiping perfectly dry, and afterward brush the hair and 
scalp with a hair-brush of moderate hardness. When the hair is 
inclined to be harsh and dry, a moderate supply of olive oil, bear's 
grease or other dressing may be used. With many heads no oil is 
necessary, and with any over- abundance is to be avoided. Frequent 
brushing with a perfectly clean brush is of great service in giving a 
glossy, beautiful appearance to the hair. The brush may be kept 
clean by washing every day or two in warm water and soda, or in 
diluted ammonia. 

For removing dandruff, glycerine diluted with a little rose-water 
is recommended. Rosemary in almost any preparation is a very 
cleansing wash. 

The yolk of an egg beaten up in warm water makes an excellent 
application for cleansing the scalp.

VOCABULARY OF RHYMES. 



rhyme is complete and the poetry is as good as 
may be expected with so short a time in which 
to produce it. The next continues by present- 
ing the third line as follows: 

A perfume sweet loads down the air. 

The fourth says, 

The birds now sing, and mate, and pair. 

The fifth continues, 

O : charming season of the year. 

The sixth may be at a loss for the suitable 
word to rhyme with "year," but must produce 
something in the half-minute, and here it is: 

I wish that you was always here. 

Whether the word "you" is a suitable word 
in this place, the rhymsters have not time to de- 



termine, as the composition must progress rap- 
idly so that a twenty -line metrical composition 
may be produced in ten minutes. 

As poetry this extemporaneous effusion, when 
finally read by the secretary, will not be very 
good — it may be only doggerel rhyme — but it 
will be amusing to see it produced, and its pro- 
duction will be a decidedly intellectual exercise. 

For the advantage of the student who may 
aim to write the best of verse, as well as the 
impromptu poet in the social circle, who 
may wish to test the ability to rapidly make 
rhyme, the following vocabulary, from Walker's

MAUD MULLER, ON A SUMMER^ DAY, RAKED THE MEADOW, SWEET WITH HAY. 





(Hf audMuller, on a summer's day, 
Raked the meadow,sweet with hay. 

Beneath her torn hat glowed the wealth 
Of simple beauty and rustic health. 



The sweet song died, and a vague unrest 
And a nameless longing tilled her breast — 

A wish, that she hardly dared to own, 
For something better than she had known.

Singing, she wrought, and her merry glee 
The mock-bird echoed from his tree. 

But, when she glanced to the far-off town, 
White from its hill-slope looking down, 



The Judge rode slowly down the lane, 
Smoothing his horse's chestnut mane. 

He drew his bridle in the shade 

Of the apple-trees to greet the maid,

TRAVELER, through a dusty road 
FaTstrewed acorns on 
the lea; 
And one took root 
and sprouted up, 
And grew into a tree. 
Love sought its shade at 

evening time, 
To breathe his early vows; 
And Age was pleased, in 

heats of noon, 
To bask beneath its boughs. 
The dormouse loved its 

dangling twigs, 
The birds sweet music 

bore; 

It stood a glory in its place, 

A blessing evermore. 



A little spring had lost its 

way 

Amid the grass and fern; 

A passing stranger scooped 

a well, 
Where weary men might 

turn. 

He walled it in, and hung 

with care 

A ladle at the brink: 

He thought not of the deed 

lie did, 
But judged that Toil might 

drink. 
He passed again — and lo! 

the well. 

By summers never dried, 

Had cooled ten thousand 

parching tongues, 

And saved a life beside. 





"And Age was pleased, in heats of noon, to bask beneath its boughs," 

<3!e>— 

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DEATH. 



7t HERE is no such thing as death — 
In nature nothing dies; 
From each sad remnant of decay 
Some forms of life arise. 



The little leaf that falls 

All brown and sere to earth, 

Ere long will mingle with the buds 
That give the flower its birth. 



random thought; 

'Twas old — and yet 'twas 

new ; 
A simple fancy of the 

brain, 

But strong in being true. 

It shone upon a genial 

mind, 

And lo ! its light became 

A lamp of life, a beacon 

ray, 

A monitory flame. 

The thought was small — its 

issue great ; 

A watch-fire on the hill, 

It sheds its radiance far 

adown, 
And cheers the valley gtlli. 



A nameless man, amid a 

crowd 
That thronged the daily 

mart. 
Let fall a word of hope and 

love, 

Unstudied, from the heart. 

A whisper on the tumult 

thrown, 

A transitory breath, 

It raised a brother from the 

dust, 
It saved a soul from death. 
O germ! O fount! word 

of love! 
O thought at random 

cast! 
Ye were but little at the 

first, 
But mighty at the last! 







OOR lone Hannah, 

Sitting at the window, binding shoes! 

Faded, wrinkled, 
Sitting, stitching, in a mournful muse! 
Bright -eyed beauty once was she, 
When the bloom was on the tree. 
Spring and winter 
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes 

Not a neighbor 
Passing nod or answer will refuse 

To her whisper: 

" Is there from the fishers any news " 

0, her heart's adrift with one 

On an endless voyage gone ! 

Night and morning 

Hannah's at the window, binding shoes 



May is passing; 
'Mid the apple-boughs a pigeon coos. 

Hannah shudders: 
For the mild southwester mischief brews. 
Round the rocks of Marblehead, 
Outward bound, a schooner sped. 
Silent, lonesome, 
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes. 

Tis November; 
Now no tear her wasted cheek bedews. 

From Newfoundland 
Not a sail returning will she lose. 

Whispering, hoarsely, " Fishermen, 
Have you, have you heard of Ben?" 
Old with watching, 
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes. 

Twenty winters 
Bleach and tear the ragged shore she views 

Twenty seasons; 
Never one has brought her any news. 
Still her dim eyes silently 
Chase the white sails o'er the sea. 
Hopeless, faithful, 
Hannah's at the window, binding shoes.

While my little one, while my pretty one sleeps.

ACKWARD, turn backward, O Time, in your flight, 
Make me a child again, just for to-night! 
Mother, come back from the echoless shore, 
Take me again to your heart as of yore; 
Kiss from my forehead the furrows of care, 
Smooth the few silver threads out of my hair; 
Over my slumbers your loving watch keep — 
Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep I 

I ackward, flow backward, O tide of the years ! 
I am so weary of toil and of tears — 
Toil without recompense — tears all in vain — 
Take them, and give me my childhood again ! 
I have grown weary of dust and decay — 
Weary of flinging my soul-wealth away; 
Weary of sowing for others to reap — 
Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep! 

tired of the hollow, the base, the untrue, 
Mother, O Mother, my heart calls for you i 
Many a summer the grass has grown green, 
Blossomed and faded, our faces between; 
Yet with strong yearning, and passionate pain, 
Long I to-night for your presence again. 
Come from the silence so long and so deep — 
Rock me to sleep, mother— rock me to sleep! 



^ver my heart, in the days that are flown, 
No love like a mother's love ever has shone 
No other worship abides and endures — 
Faithful, unselfish, and patient like yours; 
None like a mother can charm away pain 
From the sick soul and the world-weary brain. 
Slumber's soft calm o'er my heavy lids creep — 
Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep ! 

yome, let your brown hair just lighted with gold, 
Fall on your shoulders again as of old; 
Let it drop over my forehead to-night, 
Shading my faint eyes away from the light ; 
For with its sunny-edged shadows once more 
Happy will throng the sweet visions of yore — 
Lovingly, softly, its bright billows sweep — 
Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep ! 

fother, dear mother, the years have been long 
Since I last listened to your lullaby song; . 
Sing, then, and unto my heart it shall seem 
Womanhood's years have been only a dream; 
Clasped to your heart in a loving embrace, 
With your light lashes just sweeping my face, 
Never hereafter to wake or to weep — 
Rock me to sleep, mother — rock me to sleep ! 






SOLDIER of the Legion lay dying in Algiers: 

There was lack of woman's nursing, there was dearth 

of woman's tears; 
But a comrade stood beside him, while his life-blood 
ebbed away, 

And bent with pitying glances, to hear what he might say. 

The dying soldier faltered, as he took that comrade's hand, 

And he said, " I nevermore shall see my own, my native land. 

Take a message and a token to some distant friends of mine; 

For I was bom at Bingen — at Bingen on the Rhine I 

" Tell my brothers and 
companions, when 
they meet and 
crowd around, 
To hear my mournful 
story, in the pleasant 
vineyard ground, 
That we fought the battle 
bravely; and when 
the day was done, 
Full many a corse lay 
ghastly pale beneath 
the setting sun. 
And midst the dead and 
dying were some 
grown old in war, 
The death - wounds on 
their gallant breasts 
the last of many 
scars ; 
But some were young, 
and suddenly beheld 
life's morn de- 
cline ; 
And one had come from Bingen— fair Bingen on the Rhine ! 




" Tell my sister not to weep for me, and sob with drooping head, 
When the troops come marching home again, with glad and gallant 

tread; 
But to look upon them proudly, with a calm and steadfast eye, 
For her brother was a soldier too, and not afraid to die; 
And if a comrade seek her love, I ask her in my name 
To listen to him kindly, without regret or shame; 
And to hang the old sword in its place, my father's sword and 

mine, 
For the honor of old Bingen — dear Bingen on the Rhine! 



" There's another, not a 
sister: in the happy 
days gone by 
You'd have known her 
by the merriment that 
sparkled in her 
eye; 
Too innocent for coquet- 
ry, too fond for idle 
scorning; 

friend ! I fear the light- 
est heart makes some- 
times heaviest 

mourning. 

Tell her the last night of 

my life (for ere this 

moon be risen, 

My body will be out of 

pain, my soul be out 

of prison), 

1 dreamed I stood with 
her, and saw the 

yellow sunlight 
shine 



A soldier of the Legion lay dying in Algiers." 

On the vine-clad hills of Bingen— fair Bingen on the Rhine! 



" Tell my mother that her other sons shall comfort her old age, 

For I was still a truant bird that thought his home a cage; 

For my father was a soldier, and even as a child 

My heart leaped forth to hear him tell of struggles fierce and wild; 

And when he died, and left us to divide his scanty hoard, 

I let them take whate'er they would— but kept my father's sword; 

And with boyish love I hung it, where the bright light used to shine 

On the cottage wall at Bingen— calm B ngen on the Rhine ! 



"I saw the blue Rhine sweep along; I heard, or seemed to hear, 

The German songs we used to sing, in chorus sweet and clear; 

And down the pleasant river, and up the slanting hill, 

The echoing chorus sounded, through the evening calm and still; 

And her glad blue eyes were on me, as we passed, with friendly talk 

Down many a path beloved of yore, and well-remembered walk; 

And her little hand lay lightly, confidingly in mine: 

But we'll meet no more at Bingen — loved Bingen on the Rhine '. "

THE FIRST SNOW-FALL.

vim 



"VAfHE snow had begun in 
the gloaming, 
l And busily, all the 
night, 
Had been heaping field and 

highway 

With a silence deep and 

white. 



Every pine and fir and 

hemlock 
Wore ermine too dear for 

an earl, 
And the poorest twig on 

the elm-tree 

Was ridged inch-deep with 

pearl. 

From sheds new- roofed 

with carrara 
Came chanticleer's muffled 

crow ; 
The stiff rails were softened 

to swan's-down; 

And still wavered down 

the snow. 

I stood and watched from 

my window 
The noiseless work of the 

sky, 
And the sudden flurries of 

snow-birds, 
Like brown leaves whirl- 
ing by. 

I thought of a mound in 
sweet Auburn 

Where a little headstone 
stood : 

How the flakes were fold- 
ing it gently, 



As did robins the Babes in the Wood.

Up spoke our own little 
Mabel, 

Saying, " Father, who 
makes it snow?" 

And I told of the good All- 
father 

Who cares for us here 
below. 

Again I looked at the snow- 
fall, 
And thought of the leaden 

sky 
TL.at arched o'er our first 

great sorrow 

When that mound was 

-heaped so high. 

I remember the gradual 

patience 
That fell from that cloud 

like snow, 
Flake by flake, healing and 

hiding 

The scar of our buried 

woe. 

And again to the child I 

whispered 
" The snow that husheth 

all, 

Darling, the merciful 

Father 

Alone can bid it fall! " 



Then with eyes that saw 
not I kissed her. 

And she, kissing back, 
could not know 

That my kiss was given to 
her sister

A DEATH-BED. 




Folded close under deepening snow. 



BY JAMES ALDBICH. 



fpfpER suffering ended with the day; 
Yet lived she at its close, 
And breathed the long, long night away, 
In statue-like repose. 



But when the sun, in all his state, 

Illumed the eastern skies, 
She passed through glory's morning-gate, 

And walked in Paradise.

SONG OF THE BROOK 

83^ 



With many a curve my banks I fret. 
By many a field and fallow, 

And many a fairy foreland set 
With willow-weed and mallow 




/3§»SSgN COME from haunts of coot and hern; 
' <J I make a sudden sally, 




And sparkle out among the fern, 
To bicker down a valley 

By thirty hills I hurry down, 
Or slip between the ridges; 

By twenty thorps, a little town, 
And half a hundred bridges. 

Till last by Philip's farm I flow, 
To join the brimming river; 

For men may come and men may go, 
But I go on forever. 

I chatter over stony ways, 

In little sharps and trebles; 
I bubble into eddying bays, 
on the pebbles. 



I chatter, chatter, as I flow 
To join the brimming river; 

For men may come and men may go. 
But I go on forever. 

I wind about, and in and out, 
With here a blossom sailing, 

And here and there a lusty trout, 
And here and there a grayling. 

And here and there a foamy flake 

Upon me, as I travel, 
M'ith many a silvery waterbreak 

Above the golden gravel ; 

And draw them all along, and flow 
To join the brimming river: 

For men may come and men may go. 
But I go on forever. 

I steal by lawns and grassy plots' 

I slide by hazel covers; 
I move the sweet forget-me-nots 

That grow for happy lovers. 

I slip, I slide, I gloom, I glance 
Among my skimming swallows; 

I make the netted sunbeam dance 
Against my sandy shallows. 

I murmur under moon and stars, 
In brambly wildernesses; 

I linger by my shingly bars; 
I loiter round my cresses. 

And out again I curve and flow 
To join the brimming river; 

For men may come and men may go, 
But I go on forever.

ROLL CALL. 








ORPORAL Green ! " the orderly cried; 

" Here ! " was the answer, loud and clear, 

Prom the lips of a soldier who stood near, 

And " Here ! " was the word the next replied. . 

" Cyrus Drew! " — then a silence fell — 
This time no answer followed the call; 
Only his rear man had seen him fall, 

Killed or wounded he could not tell. 

There they stood in the failing light, 

These men of battle, with grave, dark looks, 
As plain to be read as open books, 

While slowly gathered the shades of night. 

The fern on the hill-side was splashed with blood, 
And down in the com, where the poppies grew, 
Were redder stains than the poppies knew; 

And crimson-dyed was the river's flood. 

For the foe had crossed from the other side, 
That day in the face of a murderous fire, 
That swept them down in its terrible ire; 

And their life-blood went to color the tide. 



"Herbert Kline! " At the call, there came 
Two stalwart soldiers into the line, 
Bearing between them this Herbert Kline, 

Wounded and bleeding, to answer his name. 

"Ezra Kerr! " — and a voice answered, " Here!" 

"Hiram Kerr! " — but no man replied. 

They were brothers, these two, the sad winds sighed, 
And a shudder crept through the cornfield near. 

" Ephraim Deane! " — then a soldier spoke: 

" Deane carried our Regiment's colors," he said; 
" Where our Ensign was shot, I left him dead, 

Just after the enemy wavered and broke. 

"Close to the roadside his body lies. 

I paused a moment and gave him to drink. 

He murmured his mother's name, I think, 
And death came with it and closed his eyes. " 

'Tvvas a victory; yes, but it cost us dear, — 
For that company's roll, when called at night, 
Of a hundred men who went into the fight, 

Numbered but twenty that answered "Here! "

BOOKS AND BOOK MAKING.

FOLIO. 




QUARTO, " 4to." 







Duodecimo, " l2mo." 



HE accompanying illustrations, upon this 
page, represent the principal sizes of books, 
namely: Folio, a long book ; Quarto (4fo), nearly 
square, ( shape of Hill's Manual ); Octavo ( 8vo ), the general 
size ; and Duodecimo ( 12mo ), a small book, as seen below. 

FOLIO. 

The standard size of book paper is 25 x 38 inches ; one half 
of the sheet being 19 x 25 inches, which folded in two leaves, 
having four pages, makes a book of the size called a folio. 

QUARTO. 

When the half sheet is folded in four leaves, making eight 
pages, it forms a quarto in size. 

OCTAVO. 

The half sheet folded again, eight leaves, sixteen pages, 
forms an octavo, or folded into sixteen leaves forms a sixteenmo. 

DUODECIMO. 

By folding the same into twelve leaves, making twenty-four 
pages, we have a duodecimo. Folded into eighteen leaves, or 
thirty-six pages, we form an 18mo ; into 24 leaves, and we have 
a 24mo, &c. 

The words Post, Crown, Demy, Royal, etc., used in connec- 
tion, as Royal Octavo, designate the sizes of paper of which 
books are made. 

Modern facilities for the manufacture of paper enable pub- 
lishers to have any desired size made to order, as has been 
done in the case of this book. 



OCTAVO, "8vo." 



The marks a, b, c ; 1, 2, 3 ; 1*, 2*, 3*, 1a, &c, occasionally 
found at the bottom of a page, are what printers term signature 
marks, being printed for the direction of the binders in folding 
the sheets. 

The art of covering books In a superior manner, was in use long before the art of printing 
was discovered, some of the most beautiful and elaborate binding being executed as early as the 
11th century. Books, which were in manuscript, in those days, were few, and so very valuable 
that great care was taken in their preservation, jewelers and other artisans engaging in the 
manufacture and ornamentation of their covers. 

With the advanced civilization of the 19th century, however, the superior machinery for 
book binding has not only cheapened the cost, but the facilities in some large establishments, 
are such as to enable manufacturers to elegantly bind, in muslin, one hundred and fifty 
copies per hour.

GLEANINGS FROM THE POETS. 



Brief r xtracts from the Best Poems, suitable to accompany Tomb- 
Stone Inscriptions. 




JVERY inscription on tomb-stones 
may appropriately be accom- 
panied by an epitaph, which 
should be expressive yet very 
brief. Formerly it was custom- 
ary oftentimes to inscribe seve- 
ral stanzas of poetry upon the 
headstone. "With the improved 
taste of later years, however, it is considered 
best to condense the epitaph into a few words, 
usually not exceeding four lines in length. 

The following appropriate stanzas for epitaphs 
are culled from the best poems : 

' We saw not the angels who met him there, 
The gates of the city we could not see. 
Over the river, over the river, 

My darling stands waiting to welcome me." 



" Amiable, she won all ; intelligent, she charmed 

all ; fervent, she loved all ; and dead, she 

saddened all." 



" He carries the lambs in his bosom. 



" Rest in peace, thou gentle spirit, 
Throned above — 
Souls like thine with God inherit 
Life and love." 



I love them that love me, and those that seek me 
early shall find me." 



" Judge not the Lord by feeble sense, 
But trust Him for His grace ; 
Behind a frowning providence, 
He hides a smiling face." 



" Not thus his nobler part shall dwell 
A prisoner in this narrow cell ; 
But he, whom we now hide from men, 
With youth renewed, shall live again." 



Death, thou art but another birth, 
Freeing the spirit from the clogs of earth." 



**t

"Ay, hold it true, whate'er befall, 

And feel it, when we sorrow most, 
T is better to have loved and lost, 
Than to have never loved at all."
